Integration, Events, and Microservice Patterns
Overview
It is intended for architects and developers to use this information to guide their integration solutions. Once an integration style has been selected, they should review the associated integration style section to understand the typical patterns relevant to that integration style, abide by the constraints and review the implementation considerations.
Understanding “Integration” – Applications, Integration, and Microservices
There is an important distinction around the responsibilities of an integration system and applications. Integration facilitates the transmission of information between systems and may be realized through the use of technologies such as messaging systems, API gateways, and their associated protocols (MQ, AMQP, HTTP, FTP). Over the years, many technology vendors have implemented additional capabilities within their integration products that have enabled developers to add business logic embedded within the integration solution. This has resulted in business logic being spread outside of the application layer and integration an integration system that is often managed and maintained by a single team resulting in a resource bottleneck.
