Recently back from QCon SF, one of my favorite bits was a tutorial given by James Lewis from ThoughtWorks on micro-services (which he said was not the best moniker but close enough that people understand the idea). Lots of resonance with the concept described in this post -- use existing APIs and formats to create "just enough" architecture to connect distinct components in well-defined ways. Slides from an ealier version of the talk here: http://www.slideshare.net/jamesalewis/java-microservices http://www.slideshare.net/jamesalewis/java-microservices
