The document discusses patterns in enterprise architecture, emphasizing the need for integration and adaptability in managing IT complexities. It describes various architectural styles, including microservice architecture (MSA), which aims to enhance delivery agility and deployment flexibility. The author encourages the creation of custom architectural patterns and highlights the importance of evolving architecture to address contemporary challenges.

2. ”Pattern" is a generic solution for a
common recurring problem.

5. Enterprise Architecture “Manage the
complexity of the IT environment and
applies principles and techniques to
reduce the complexity, improve
efficiencies, and reduce capital and
operational expenditure.”

7. Enterprise architecture has changed today
- Less visibility to projects
- Difficult to find
- Availability
- Ownership
- (as a result EA provides *-platforms)
- Change management
- Development cycles:
- From 18 to 6 months to 3 months

8. Enterprise architecture has changed today
- Real standards
- Technical (REST, SOAP, protobuf)
- Business (ACORD, HL7, FIX, FAST)
- Integration/APIs is key (extend to connected business)
- Companies without integration are falling behind
- Heterogeneous systems

9. Evolution of architecture patterns
- Object oriented : OOP
- Component based : COM/DCOM/CORBA
- Open distributed processing : ODP
- Enterprise application integration : EAI
- Service oriented : SOA
- Event driven : EDA
- Resource oriented : ROA
- Web oriented : WOA
- Microservice : MSA

10. SOA : “Architecture paradigm to build
highly loosely coupled distributed
systems”

11. SOA : “Nothing NEW, architecture style
to fix broken architectures”

28. Microservice architecture (MSA) is a
pattern for building and delivering
service-oriented applications with two
primary objectives: agility of delivery
and flexibility of deployment.

29. MSA is not based on all-new architectural
principles; it combines SOA best practices
with modern application delivery tooling
and organizational disciplines.

30. "Micro" is a concept of scope rather
than size.

31. A microservice must have a single
purpose and be loosely coupled in
design and deployed independently of
other microservices.

- Maturity of process systems (MOPS)
- Platform enabled agile solutions (PEAS)
- Submission interface (SI)
- Make your logic explicit (MILO)
