I can't distinguish between what is described and service oriented (SOA) approach:

    Discoverable
    Addressable
    Trustworthy and truthful
    Self-describing semantics and syntax
    Inter-operable and governed by global standards
    Secure and governed by a global access control

A reminder that Thoughtworks was highly influential in pushing Microservices. This may be an elaborate mea-culpa ("oops, SOA was actually more sensible") without admiting 'culpa', rehashing SOA with a set of features (above) that look awfully like those highly elaborate SOA proposals with XML and all sorts of meta-data to 'couple' these "data products' (previously called Services).

this is about data for internal analytics purposes, typically meant to be queried using SQL. if you expect a typical data scientist or business analyst to pull together a bunch of data from a dozen microservices and join it themselves in order to make a report the best case scenario is that it will take 10x as long as it should.
