I've seen one where every single business object was actually encapsulated in it's own vertical stateless service, from soap frontend to database. just the authentication overhead on the network was more than 70% of all data exchanged.

A dev typing really fast is very important. Absence of one, breaks the excel database every 65536 rows.

So, where's the enterprise bus? :)

We've all seen worse.

I don't actually think that's their stack.
