Boundaries are explicit

Services are Autonomous

Know your boundaries Services should be easy to consume Avoid RPC interfaces instead use explicit messages Fewer public interfaces that accept well defined messages Dont expose implementation details

Service versioning and deployment are independent of the system in which they are deployed Contracts, once published, should not be changed Adopt a pessimistic approach, and isolate services from failure

Services
Services Share the Schema and Contract, Not the Class

Service Compatibility Is Based on Policy Service contract should contain the message formats, message exchange patterns, WS-Policy requirements If breaking service contracts is inescapable, then version the services, because this minimizes the ripple effect to existing consumers of the service Do not expose internal data representation publicly; the public data scheme should be absolute

A policy assertion identifies a behavior of a policy entity and provides domain-specific semantics.
