Q1) Why does a project like the Open Service Broker API matter? #Appserviceschat

interoperability. and treating services as attached

A1) Developers need a standard way to connect to any service from any app on any platform using any marketplace. No vertical lock-in by framework.

Unless you enjoy reimplementing technologies over and over, standard interfaces matter.

ease of use for app developers! Focus on business function - not services!

It offers a standardized approach to attaching services to a platform.

Standardizing service delivery across platforms is better for the industry at large.

make it will make it easier for producers to expose their services to other platforms

A1) differentiation and innovation are to be commended...except when it results in multiple interfaces

@Jay_Judkowitz precisely - who wants to have to do this for every possible platform their service might need to integrate

Does standardizing service delivery platforms run the risk of standardizing services?

@sogrady has it right. Nobody likes to invent the same thing over and over again!

@tmmoore_1 exactly, here's my user story: as a developer, I want to be lazy

@SMFulton3 It's about standardizing discovery, provisioning, and binding to services, not standardizing the services themselves.

@Jay_Judkowitz @SMFulton3 you can envision that over time some services may commoditize

@tmmoore_1 And new services will evolve as app requirements change.
