Service-Oriented Architecture / Operational Overhead
Kind: tension
Record: tension:operational-overhead-service-oriented-architecture
Canonical: Schema
"service-oriented-architecture" (structural-core layer) is traded against "Operational Overhead" (resource-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Operational Overhead" and choosing an explicit operating point.
