Capability Recomposition (Erl)


Home > Capability Composition Patterns > Capability Recomposition
How can the same capability be used to help solve multiple problems?  

Problem

Using agnostic service logic to only solve a single problem is wasteful and does not leverage the logic's reuse potential.

Solution

Agnostic service capabilities can be designed to be repeatedly invoked in support of multiple compositions that solve multiple problems.

Application

Effective recomposition requires the coordinated, successful, and repeated application of several additional patterns.
Impacts

Repeated service composition demands existing and persistent standardization and governance.

Principles

Standardized Service Contract, Service Loose Coupling, Service Abstraction, Service Reusability, Service Autonomy, Service Statelessnes, Service Discoverability, Service Composability
Architecture

Inventory, Composition, Service




The individual capabilities of the original services can be repeatedly aggregated together with additional capabilities into different composition configurations. This enables capabilities to collectively solve the large problem for which they were originally delivered in addition to several other problems.
