Aristotle called analytics “the resolution of every compound into those things out of which the synthesis is made. For analysis is the converse of synthesis. Synthesis is the road from the principles to those things that derive from the principles, and analysis is the return from the end to the principles.”

Software development follows a similar approach: analyze a system into its composite parts, identifying inputs, desired outputs, and detail functions. During the analytic process of software development, we have realized that non-business-specific functionality is always required to process inputs and to communicate or persist outputs. This makes it obvious that we could benefit from reusable, well-defined, context-bound, atomic functionality that can be shared, consumed, or interconnected to simplify building software.

Allowing developers to focus primarily on implementing business logic to fulfill purposes—like meeting well-defined needs of a client/business, meeting a perceived need of some set of potential users, or using the functionality for personal needs (to automate tasks)—has been a long-held desire. ...
