ESB vs Biztalk Debate Gets Heated in Barcelona (From Dave Chappell’s Blog)
Found this interesting tail of a conference on SOA and a little debate that took place between Dave (of Sonic Software) and some guys from MS about ESB and Biztalk/Indigo. Not a bad read (even if its a bit long)
ESB vs Biztalk Debate Gets Heated in Barcelona
While giving a presentation at the Enterprise Architect Summit in Barcelona, on the subject of ESB and other SOA-related infrastructures, I got into a public altercation with a couple of Microsoft guys who were in the audience. It turned into a pretty heated debate over core architectural fundamentals, which we hammered out in front of an audience of about 75 unsuspecting conference-goers. I have to say that in all my years of public speaking this sort of spontaneous public debate has never happened quite like this. The conversation that ensued brought to light some really important issues regarding some fundamental differences between the use of an ESB as the foundation of building a Service Oriented Architecture vs. using a combination of Biztalk and WCF (formerly known as Indigo).
