Title:
Differentiating Between Web APIs, SOA, & Integration - And Why It Matters

Abstract:
There are many similarities between the design techniques for the new trend of web APIs, and those we have seen maturing for many years for service oriented architecture (SOA). Indeed SOA could be seen as "just" an evolution of traditional integration, but that type of thinking was the beginning of the end for many SOA initiatives. Drawing on multiple customer experiences, this session will looks at the things that make web APIs unique from what came before, and the differences in how they are designed and implemented. Also, since no sizable enterprise is starting from scratch, we look at how existing integration architectures should be evolved to accommodate these new requirements.
