Designing services well requires intentional application of design strategies and consistent utilization of service oriented principles. In this talk, Kyle Gabhart will explore one such principle of service orientation - the composable nature of services. One thing that distinguishes services from other distributed components is the ability to compose solutions. Service oriented solutions support this by aggregating service calls underneath higher-level services and orchestrating services into business processes. Although most service oriented practitioners will readily admit this is a goal, few realize this goal due to poor service design. This session explores the subject of service composition and provides practical guidance regarding how to design and work with composable services.
