'''Service Layers''' is a [[Design_pattern_(computer_science)|design pattern]], applied within the [[service-orientation]] [[Design_paradigm|design paradigm]], which aims to organize the services<ref name='services'>[http://www.whatissoa.com/p11.php services]</ref>, within a service inventory<ref name='serviceinventory'>[http://www.whatissoa.com/p13.php service inventory]</ref>, into a set of logical layers. Services that are categorized into a particular layer share the same type of functionality. This helps to reduce the governance burden related to the service inventory as the services belonging to the same layer only contain a particular type of solution logic and as a result are easy to maintain.
