In <a href="Software_engineering" title="Software engineering">software engineering</a>, <b>service-oriented architecture</b> (<b>SOA</b>) is an architectural style that focuses on discrete services instead of a <a href="Monolithic_system" title="Monolithic system">monolithic design</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> SOA is a good choice for <a href="System_integration" title="System integration">system integration</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By consequence, it is also applied in the field of <a href="Software_design" title="Software design">software design</a> where services are provided to the other components by <a href="Application_components" class="mw-redirect" title="Application components">application components</a>, through a <a href="Communications_protocol" class="mw-redirect" title="Communications protocol">communication protocol</a> over a network. A service is a discrete unit of functionality that can be accessed remotely and acted upon and updated independently, such as retrieving a credit card statement online. SOA is also intended to be independent of vendors, products and technologies.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Service orientation is a way of thinking in terms of services and service-based development and the outcomes of services.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>A service has four properties according to one of many definitions of SOA:<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<ol><li>It logically represents a repeatable business activity with a specified outcome.</li>
<li>It is self-contained.</li>
<li>It is a <a href="Black_box" title="Black box">black box</a> for its consumers, meaning the consumer does not have to be aware of the service's inner workings.</li>
<li>It may be composed of other services.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ol>
<p>Different services can be used in conjunction as a <a href="Service_mesh" title="Service mesh">service mesh</a> to provide the functionality of a large <a href="Software_applications" class="mw-redirect" title="Software applications">software application</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> a principle SOA shares with <a href="Modular_programming" title="Modular programming">modular programming</a>. Service-oriented architecture integrates distributed, separately maintained and deployed software components. It is enabled by technologies and standards that facilitate components' communication and cooperation over a network, especially over an IP network.
</p><p>SOA is related to the idea of an API (<a href="Application_programming_interface" class="mw-redirect" title="Application programming interface">application programming interface</a>), an interface or communication protocol between different parts of a computer program intended to simplify the implementation and maintenance of software. An API can be thought of as the service, and the SOA the architecture that allows the service to operate.
</p><p>Note that Service-Oriented Architecture must not be confused with Service Based Architecture as those are two different architectural styles.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>In SOA, services use protocols that describe how they <a href="Message_passing" title="Message passing">pass</a> and parse messages using description <a href="Metadata" title="Metadata">metadata</a>. This metadata describes both the functional characteristics of the service and quality-of-service characteristics. Service-oriented architecture aims to allow users to combine large chunks of functionality to form applications which are built purely from existing services and combining them in an ad hoc manner. A service presents a simple interface to the requester that abstracts away the underlying complexity acting as a black box. Further users can also access these independent services without any knowledge of their internal implementation.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Each SOA building block can play any of the three roles:
</p>
<dl><dt>Service provider</dt>
<dd>It creates a web service and provides its information to the service registry. Each provider debates upon a lot of hows and whys like which service to expose, which to give more importance: security or easy availability, what price to offer the service for and many more<i>.</i> The provider also has to decide what category the service should be listed in for a given broker service<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and what sort of trading partner agreements are required to use the service.</dd>
<dt>Service broker, service registry or service repository</dt>
<dd>Its main functionality is to make information regarding the web service available to any potential requester. Whoever implements the broker decides the scope of the broker. Public brokers are available anywhere and everywhere but private brokers are only available to a limited amount of public. <a href="UDDI" class="mw-redirect" title="UDDI">UDDI</a> was an early, no longer actively supported attempt to provide <a href="Web_Services_Discovery" title="Web Services Discovery">Web services discovery</a>.</dd>
<dt>Service requester/consumer</dt>
<dd>It locates entries in the broker registry using various find operations and then binds to the service provider in order to invoke one of its web services. Whichever service the service-consumers need, they have to take it into the brokers, bind it with respective service and then use it. They can access multiple services if the service provides multiple services.</dd></dl>
<p>The service consumer–provider relationship is governed by a <a href="Standardized_service_contract" title="Standardized service contract">standardized service contract</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which has a business part, a functional part and a technical part.
</p><p><a href="Service_composability_principle" title="Service composability principle">Service composition patterns</a> have two broad, high-level architectural styles: <a href="Service_choreography#Service_choreography_and_service_orchestration" title="Service choreography">choreography and orchestration</a>. Lower level enterprise integration patterns that are not bound to a particular architectural style continue to be relevant and eligible in SOA design.<sup id="cite_ref-ieeesweip_20-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ieeesweip-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Implementation_approaches">Implementation approaches</h2></div>
<p>Service-oriented architecture can be implemented with <a href="Web_service" title="Web service">web services</a> or <a href="Microservices" title="Microservices">Microservices</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This is done to make the functional building-blocks accessible over standard Internet protocols that are independent of platforms and programming languages. These services can represent either new applications or just wrappers around existing legacy systems to make them network-enabled.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Implementers commonly build SOAs using web services standards. One example is <a href="SOAP" title="SOAP">SOAP</a>, which has gained broad industry acceptance after the recommendation of Version 1.2 from the W3C<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (World Wide Web Consortium) in 2003. These standards (also referred to as <a href="List_of_web_service_specifications" title="List of web service specifications">web service specifications</a>) also provide greater interoperability and some protection from lock-in to proprietary vendor software. One can, however, also implement SOA using any other service-based technology, such as <a href="Jini" title="Jini">Jini</a>, <a href="CORBA" class="mw-redirect" title="CORBA">CORBA</a>, <a href="Internet_Communications_Engine" title="Internet Communications Engine">Internet Communications Engine</a>, <a href="Representational_State_Transfer" class="mw-redirect" title="Representational State Transfer">REST</a>, or <a href="GRPC" title="GRPC">gRPC</a>.
</p><p>Architectures can operate independently of specific technologies and can therefore be implemented using a wide range of technologies, including:
</p>
<ul><li><a href="Web_services" class="mw-redirect" title="Web services">Web services</a> based on WSDL and <a href="SOAP" title="SOAP">SOAP</a></li>
<li>Messaging, e.g., with ActiveMQ, JMS, RabbitMQ</li>
<li>RESTful HTTP, with <a href="Representational_state_transfer" class="mw-redirect" title="Representational state transfer">Representational state transfer</a> (REST) constituting its own constraints-based architectural style</li>
<li><a href="Data_Distribution_Service" title="Data Distribution Service">Data Distribution Service</a> (DDS)</li>
<li><a href="OPC_Unified_Architecture" title="OPC Unified Architecture">OPC-UA</a></li>
<li><a href="Internet_Communications_Engine" title="Internet Communications Engine">Internet Communications Engine</a></li>
<li><a href="Windows_Communication_Foundation" title="Windows Communication Foundation">WCF</a> (Microsoft's implementation of Web services, forming a part of WCF)</li>

<li><a href="GRPC" title="GRPC">gRPC</a></li>
<li><a href="SORCER" title="SORCER">SORCER</a></li></ul>
<p>Implementations can use one or more of these protocols and, for example, might use a file-system mechanism to communicate data following a defined interface specification between processes conforming to the SOA concept. The key is independent services with defined interfaces that can be called to perform their tasks in a standard way, without a service having foreknowledge of the calling application, and without the application having or needing knowledge of how the service actually performs its tasks. SOA enables the development of applications that are built by combining loosely coupled and <a href="Interoperable" class="mw-redirect" title="Interoperable">interoperable</a> services.
</p><p>These services inter-operate based on a formal definition (or contract, e.g., WSDL) that is independent of the underlying platform and programming language. The interface definition <a href="Information_hiding" title="Information hiding">hides the implementation</a> of the language-specific service. SOA-based systems can therefore function independently of development technologies and platforms (such as Java, .NET, etc.). Services written in C# running on .NET platforms and services written in Java running on <a href="Java_Platform%2C_Enterprise_Edition" class="mw-redirect" title="Java Platform, Enterprise Edition">Java EE</a> platforms, for example, can both be consumed by a common composite application (or client). Applications running on either platform can also consume services running on the other as web services that facilitate reuse. Managed environments can also wrap COBOL legacy systems and present them as software services.<sup>.</sup><sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p><a href="High-level_programming_language" title="High-level programming language">High-level programming languages</a> such as <a href="BPEL" class="mw-redirect" title="BPEL">BPEL</a> and specifications such as <a href="WS-CDL" class="mw-redirect" title="WS-CDL">WS-CDL</a> and <a href="WS-Coordination" title="WS-Coordination">WS-Coordination</a> extend the service concept by providing a method of defining and supporting orchestration of fine-grained services into more coarse-grained business services, which architects can in turn incorporate into workflows and business processes implemented in <a href="Composite_applications" class="mw-redirect" title="Composite applications">composite applications</a> or <a href="Enterprise_portal" title="Enterprise portal">portals</a>.
</p>
<p><a href="Service-oriented_modeling" title="Service-oriented modeling">Service-oriented modeling</a> is an SOA framework that identifies the various disciplines that guide SOA practitioners to conceptualize, analyze, design, and architect their service-oriented assets. The <a href="Service-oriented_modeling#Service-oriented_modeling_framework" title="Service-oriented modeling">Service-oriented modeling framework (SOMF)</a> offers a modeling language and a work structure or "map" depicting the various components that contribute to a successful service-oriented modeling approach. It illustrates the major elements that identify the "what to do" aspects of a service development scheme. The model enables practitioners to craft a <a href="Project_plan" title="Project plan">project plan</a> and to identify the milestones of a service-oriented initiative. SOMF also provides a common modeling notation to address alignment between business and IT organizations.</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Organizational_benefits">Organizational benefits</h2></div>
<p>Some <a href="Enterprise_architect" class="mw-redirect" title="Enterprise architect">enterprise architects</a> believe that SOA can help businesses respond more quickly and more cost-effectively to changing market conditions.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This style of <i>architecture</i> promotes reuse at the macro (service) level rather than micro (classes) level. It can also simplify interconnection to—and usage of—existing IT (legacy) assets.
</p><p>With SOA, the idea is that an organization can look at a problem holistically. A business has more overall control. Theoretically there would not be a mass of developers using whatever tool sets might please them. But rather they would be coding to a standard that is set within the business. They can also develop enterprise-wide SOA that encapsulates a business-oriented infrastructure. SOA has also been illustrated as a highway system providing efficiency for car drivers. The point being that if everyone had a car, but there was no highway anywhere, things would be limited and disorganized, in any attempt to get anywhere quickly or efficiently. IBM Vice President of Web Services Michael Liebow says that SOA "builds highways".<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In some respects, SOA could be regarded as an architectural evolution rather than as a revolution. It captures many of the <a href="Best_practice" title="Best practice">best practices</a> of previous software architectures. In communications systems, for example, little development of solutions that use truly static bindings to talk to other equipment in the network has taken place. By embracing a SOA approach, such systems can position themselves to stress the importance of well-defined, highly inter-operable interfaces. Other predecessors of SOA include <a href="Component-based_software_engineering" title="Component-based software engineering">Component-based software engineering</a> and Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) of remote objects, for instance, in <a href="CORBA" class="mw-redirect" title="CORBA">CORBA</a>.
</p><p>A service comprises a stand-alone unit of functionality available only via a formally defined interface. Services can be some kind of "nano-enterprises" that are easy to produce and improve. Also services can be "mega-corporations" constructed as the coordinated work of subordinate services.
</p><p>Reasons for treating the implementation of services as separate projects from larger projects include:
</p>
<ol><li>Separation promotes the concept to the business that services can be delivered quickly and independently from the larger and slower-moving projects common in the organization. The business starts understanding systems and simplified user interfaces calling on services. This advocates <a href="Agility" title="Agility">agility</a>. That is to say, it fosters business innovations and speeds up time-to-market.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li>
<li>Separation promotes the decoupling of services from consuming projects. This encourages good design insofar as the service is designed without knowing who its consumers are.</li>
<li>Documentation and test artifacts of the service are not embedded within the detail of the larger project. This is important when the service needs to be reused later.</li></ol>
<p>SOA promises to simplify testing indirectly. Services are autonomous, stateless, with fully documented interfaces, and separate from the cross-cutting concerns of the implementation. If an organization possesses appropriately defined test data, then a corresponding stub is built that reacts to the test data when a service is being built. A full set of regression tests, scripts, data, and responses is also captured for the service. The service can be tested as a 'black box' using existing stubs corresponding to the services it calls. Test environments can be constructed where the primitive and out-of-scope services are stubs, while the remainder of the mesh is test deployments of full services. As each interface is fully documented with its own full set of regression test documentation, it becomes simple to identify problems in test services. Testing evolves to merely validate that the test service operates according to its documentation, and finds gaps in documentation and test cases of all services within the environment. Managing the data state of <a href="Idempotent" class="mw-redirect" title="Idempotent">idempotent</a> services is the only complexity.
</p><p>Examples may prove useful to aid in documenting a service to the level where it becomes useful. The documentation of some APIs within the Java Community Process provide good examples. As these are exhaustive, staff would typically use only important subsets.

<p>SOA has been conflated with <a href="Web_service" title="Web service">Web services</a>;<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> however, Web services are only one option to implement the patterns that comprise the SOA style. In the absence of native or binary forms of remote procedure call (RPC), applications could run more slowly and require more processing power, increasing costs. Most implementations do incur these overheads, but SOA can be implemented using technologies (for example, <a href="Java_Business_Integration" title="Java Business Integration">Java Business Integration</a> (JBI), <a href="Windows_Communication_Foundation" title="Windows Communication Foundation">Windows Communication Foundation</a> (WCF) and <a href="Data_distribution_service" class="mw-redirect" title="Data distribution service">data distribution service</a> (DDS)) that do not depend on remote procedure calls or translation through XML or JSON. At the same time, emerging open-source XML parsing technologies (such as <a href="VTD-XML" title="VTD-XML">VTD-XML</a>) and various XML-compatible binary formats promise to significantly improve SOA performance.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Stateful services require both the consumer and the provider to share the same consumer-specific context, which is either included in or referenced by messages exchanged between the provider and the consumer. This constraint has the drawback that it could reduce the overall <a href="Scalability" title="Scalability">scalability</a> of the service provider if the service-provider needs to retain the shared context for each consumer. It also increases the coupling between a service provider and a consumer and makes switching service providers more difficult.<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ultimately, some critics feel that SOA services are still too constrained by applications they represent.<sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>A primary challenge faced by service-oriented architecture is managing of metadata. Environments based on SOA include many services which communicate among each other to perform tasks. Because the design may involve multiple services working in conjunction, an Application may generate millions of messages. Further services may belong to different organizations or even competing firms creating a huge trust issue. Thus SOA governance comes into the scheme of things.<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Another major problem faced by SOA is the lack of a uniform testing framework. There are no tools that provide the required features for testing these services in a service-oriented architecture. The major causes of difficulty are:<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<ul><li>Heterogeneity and complexity of solution.</li>
<li>Huge set of testing combinations due to integration of autonomous services.</li>
<li>Inclusion of services from different and competing vendors.</li>
<li><a href="Platform_as_a_service" title="Platform as a service">Platform</a> is continuously changing due to availability of new features and services.</li></ul>

<p>Application programming interfaces (APIs) are the frameworks through which developers can interact with a web application.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Web_2.0">Web 2.0</h3></div>
<p><a href="Tim_O'Reilly" title="Tim O'Reilly">Tim O'Reilly</a> coined the term "<a href="Web_2.0" title="Web 2.0">Web 2.0</a>" to describe a perceived, quickly growing set of web-based applications.<sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A topic that has experienced extensive coverage involves the relationship between Web 2.0 and service-oriented architectures.
</p><p>SOA is the philosophy of encapsulating application logic in services with a uniformly defined interface and making these publicly available via discovery mechanisms. The notion of complexity-hiding and reuse, but also the concept of loosely coupling services has inspired researchers to elaborate on similarities between the two philosophies, SOA and Web 2.0, and their respective applications. Some argue Web 2.0 and SOA have significantly different elements and thus can not be regarded "parallel philosophies", whereas others consider the two concepts as complementary and regard Web 2.0 as the global SOA.<sup id="cite_ref-sch_41-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sch-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The philosophies of Web 2.0 and SOA serve different user needs and thus expose differences with respect to the design and also the technologies used in real-world applications. However, as of 2008, use-cases demonstrated the potential of combining technologies and principles of both Web 2.0 and SOA.<sup id="cite_ref-sch_41-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sch-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Microservices are a modern interpretation of service-oriented architectures used to build <a href="Distributed_computing" title="Distributed computing">distributed software systems</a>. Services in a microservice architecture<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> are <a href="Process_(computing)" title="Process (computing)">processes</a> that communicate with each other over the <a href="Computer_network" title="Computer network">network</a> in order to fulfill a goal.

Microservices are a new realisation and implementation approach to SOA, which have become popular since 2014 (and after the introduction of <a href="DevOps" title="DevOps">DevOps</a>), and which also emphasize continuous deployment and other agile practices.<sup id="cite_ref-44" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-44"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>44<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>There is no single commonly agreed definition of microservices. The following characteristics and principles can be found in the literature:

<li>business-driven development (e.g. <a href="Domain-driven_design" title="Domain-driven design">domain-driven design</a>),</li>
<li>IDEAL cloud application architectures,</li>
