Services vs. Extensions

This panel discussion delved into the use cases for Services vs. Extensions. The most memorable analogy was that Extensions are like the relationship between a parent and their children, while Services are a like a peer-to-peer relationship between consenting adults. All the panelists agreed that both serve a valuable purpose, however there is some technical work to be done to ensure that the Extension lifecycle is as rich as the Service lifecycle and that the programming model for Services is as simple as the programming model for Extensions.
