The essential quote is toward the end: "The term SOA has been so co-opted by vendors trying to sell stuff that I think it will die off as a term." I think it did! I definitely didn't remember what it stood for. (The author does provide a definition, but it's on the 25th time he uses the acronym :) )

The term is now “microservices”.

  "let's refactor these sql statements as a stateless microservice"... so we can service 500 users with between 10 and 100 requests a day.

SOA - service oriented architecture

Did it really die though? It seem to live on well enough in enterprise. Less popular now that Microservices are back in fashion, but still lurking around waiting for the pendulum to swing back in 2-8 years when we have had enough of microservices (again). At least we improve on the paradigms on each iteration. Maybe one day one day both of them will be good enough to let us swing toward something new.

  > Less popular now that Microservices are back in fashion Other than the WSDL/BPEL nonsense, is there any difference between service-oriented architecture and microservices architecture?
