Governing events and architect anti-patterns

As the name suggests, SOA is all about services. What about events? In the past, several SOA-efforts tended to neglect events; ultimately causing SOA not to deliver on its full potential or fail altogether. So SOA-practitioners evangelized the use of events. And of course we as IT-industry came up with new terminology to emphasize this: EDA, SOA 2.0, and event-driven SOA to name a few.

This blog is not about promoting events since its importance is (hopefully!) recognized and events are mainstream in nowadays SOA-initiatives. If not, I encourage you to read this blog that explains why events are important from both business and technical perspective. There can be no real SOA without events. Events are just as important as services!
