  > SOA & Micro Services are not the same. Microservices by theory are a return to the early theory of SOA, which may frequently have been diverged from in practice, but that probably happens with microservices, too. > Services in 90s & 2000 are SOA in a monolith. The theory of SOA is loose coupling through independent services interacting through a shared communication medium. That may not always have been observed strictly in practice, but that's true of microservices, too.
