i don't think SOA invented a problem at all. I think the problem existed, and has existed, for as long as we have been building distributed systems. SOA over-engineered though, and basically strangled any practical use it had by having layers upon layers of enterprise blah built on top of it. microservices is the new wave of the 'well, we have this problem' that is springing up. it says you need a lightweight communication layer (basically REST by default), and then you use whatever transport suits the problem. Full-stack is basically meaningless by the way. It really depends on how big your "stack" is, and once you take a far enough step back, the web front-end is such a tiny part of the problem space. http://wayfinder.co/pathways/535e46a318fbce1100cf7f2a/the-various-definitions-of-full-stack http://wayfinder.co/pathways/535e46a318fbce1100cf7f2a/the-va...
