Service oriented
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an enterprise-wide approach to software development of application components that takes advantage of reusable software components, or services.
SOA provides four different service types:
- Functional services (i.e., business services), which are critical for business applications.
- Enterprise services, which serve to implement functionality.
- Application services, which are used to develop and deploy apps.
- Infrastructure services, which are instrumental for backend processes like security and authentication.
