Arcitura Education S90.09 Exam - Topic 6 Question 29 Discussion

The architecture for Service A displayed in the Figure shows how the core logic of Service A has expanded over time to connect to a database and a proprietary legacy system (1) and to support two separate service contracts (2) that are accessed by different service consumers. The service contracts are fully decoupled from the service logic. The service logic is therefore coupled to the service contracts and to the underlying implementation resources (the database and the legacy system). Service A currently has three service consumers. Service Consumer A and Service Consumer B access Service A's two service contracts (3, 4). Service Consumer C bypasses the service contracts and accesses the service logic directly (5).

You are told that the database and legacy system that are currently being used by Service A are being replaced with different products. The two service contracts are completely decoupled from the core service logic, but there is still a concern that the introduction of the new products will cause the core service logic to behave differently than before. What steps can be taken to change the Service A architecture in preparation for the introduction of the new products so that the impact on Service Consumers A, B, and C is minimized?
