Integration Architecture: Concepts and Patterns

Very few applications stand alone anymore. Rather, they are combined together to form holistic systems that perform complex business functions. One of the big challenges when integrating applications is choosing the right integration styles and usage patterns. In this session we will explore various techniques and patterns for application integration, and look at what purpose and role open source integration hubs such as Camel and Mule play in the overall integration architecture space (and how to properly use them!). Through actual integration scenarios and live coding examples using Apache Camel you will learn which integration styles and patterns to use for your system and how open source integration hubs play an part in your overall integration strategy

Agenda:

• Introduction: the need for integration
• Integration Styles: pros, cons, and when to use
• Integration Hubs: why do we need them?
• Integration Hub Building Blocks
• Understanding the different roles of an integration hub
• Common Integration Patterns
