SOA

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a method of designing software systems where different functionalities are broken into independent, reusable services. These services communicate over a network to work together, allowing organizations to build flexible and scalable applications. Think of it like different departments within a company, each with their own specialized role, collaborating through a common system. SOA enables businesses to adapt quickly, integrate new technologies easily, and improve efficiency by reusing existing services rather than creating new ones from scratch.
