Subject: Formal Review for the White Paper "Microservices Architecture"
Date: April 22, 2016 at 8:44:50 AM EDT
All:
The White Paper for Microservices Architecture can now be found here. Please note: The review will commence on April 25, 2016 and it will end May 8, 2016.
This is to announce the Formal review of the White Paper “ Microservices Architecture” produced by the SOA Work group. This paper presents the Open Group’s view point on Microservices and Microservices Architecture (MSA). MSA is embroiled in a lot of debate particularly of what it is and if it's an evolution or a revolution. This paper is an effort to find the tree in the forest through diligent research of the current viewpoints in the industry and the perspective of the Open Group Work group members. The paper provides a clear and specific definition of MSA and Microservices, distills the core principles and key characteristics of MSA and Microservices, as well as a comparison with Services Oriented Architecture (SOA). The review uses The Open Group review process, for a white paper, which is modeled after The Open Group Standards Review Process.
“A white paper is a discussion or position paper. It is a mechanism for The Open Group to disseminate information on its current thinking for a subject area to an interested audience, with a view to soliciting feedback and comment. White Papers have no formal status”.
