Developing SOA architecture web services for high throughput systems

amount of requests with minimal or zero latency. Such systems are likely to underperform in the presence of certain requirements, including but not limited to, synchronous processing, protocol overhead, and the unscalability of traditional web service designs. The study offers a service-oriented framework, keeping in mind the needs of high-throughput systems. The proposed framework incorporates asynchronous messaging, distributed caching, and load balancing to ensure minimal bottlenecks other than service interoperability and reusability. An experimental prototype has been developed using SOAP-based services and a message broker to support decoupled communication. During workload simulation, and performance testing under both heavy and artificially heavy conditions, there was a marked improvement in throughput and latency when compared to baseline SOA deployments, in addition to the achievement of horizontal scaling. The benefits the prototype provides will most probably serve as a guideline to companies that wish to update their service architectures to higher performance requirements.
