Explain Service oriented architecture.

Question

Accepted Answer

Service oriented architecture (SOA) is a design pattern for building software applications as a collection of loosely coupled services.

SOA allows for better scalability, flexibility, and reusability of software components.
Services communicate with each other using standardized protocols such as HTTP, SOAP, and REST.
SOA can be implemented using various technologies such as ESBs, microservices, and APIs.
Examples of SOA-based applications include online banking systems, e-commerce platforms, and healthcare information systems.
