> Somehow they never even define "SOA". What?

"SOA" means "microservices for Gen X'ers".

"Microservices" means "SOA for millenials".

I don't know what Baby Boomers called it.

CORBA

OLTP

Yeah, it is Service Oriented Architecture.

The definition is written out in the final section of the linked page. These were originally separate blog posts, so I assume the author got some feedback on this and decided to spell it out finally.

Working on compilers, SOA to me means "Struct Of Arrays", which is a data layout format that is much more amenable to vector or GPU code than the "Array of Structs" representation that languages tend to guide you to implementing.

Thought this was going to be about Start-of-Authority records in DNS & was wondering it could possibly be irrelevant.
