SOA concepts have been around for a while and all of the benefits and promises it offers look good on paper. The complexity of implementing and deploying SOA in large enterprises is, however, often overlooked. The problems get further exacerbated when trying to migrate from existing monolithic Web applications and its infrastructure to an SOA model, rather than starting fresh from the ground up. In this presentation, some of the real challenges in moving to the SOA model in a large enterprise are discussed. These challenges include technical as well as operational. The talk then covers how we are addressing some of these challenges in building the SOA platform at eBay, without getting into eBay specifics.
