DESCRIPTION
Governance is a serious-sounding word for a pretty simple idea-defining a set of rules that can be applied during different phases of a project to manage it effectively. In the SOA world, governance is particularly important because you typically have different stakeholders with different goals and requirements, and you may face complex software integration tasks. Good SOA Governance improves the quality of your services and their usage.
SOA Governance in Action is a hands-on guide for developers and technology leads who need to develop and implement policies for SOA projects. This book introduces the fundamentals of good governance, the best practices for implementing them, and how to support governance using various open source tools. You'll follow an extensive case study that addresses the areas of service design, security, testing, and performance.
Because SOA services may be built using either REST or the traditional WS-* specifications, the book presents examples using both technologies. Throughout the book you'll use the WSO2 Registry as a SOA repository and WSO2 Gadget server with the Bamos BAM tooling to create custom monitoring dashboards. You'll also explore other supporting tools, such as using OpenAM to implement security related policies.
You'll learn to develop policies that work during design time, and how to monitor your services to see whether they comply to the defined policies at runtime. Along the way, you'll look at processes and tools to support policies like self documenting services, auditing, and running in a cloud.
