No! Micro services are value-over-network, hopefully with idempotent semantics. CORBA is object-over-network, with clients holding references to server objects and a protocol that passes around object references over the network. It is true that one can do value-over-network within a CORBA environment by throwing away 95% of the features, but that is not idiomatic CORBA and was sneered upon as not object-oriented enough. This is a case of too many misguided features misleading users down unproductive paths, possibly even worse than selling [a-z0-9_ ]* as the ultimate programming language on account that there are subsets of this language that are actually useful. http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~dbfaria/quals/summaries/Coulouris-chap5.txt http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~dbfaria/quals/summaries...
