Speaker Topics - No Fluff Just Stuff

Spring-Loaded Enterprise Integration

The book Enterprise Integration Patterns gave us a consistent vocabulary and notation with which to describe solutions to common integration problems that arise in the modern enterprise. Spring Integration (http://www.springsource.org/spring-integration) harnesses that vocabulary, providing a very natural extension to the well-known Spring programming model that enables the construction of loosely-coupled, messaging-based applications that can also integrate with services in the wild via a variety declarative adapters for heavily used protocols. This talk will provide an overview of the Spring Integration framework, it's relationship to the patterns, and to the problems they aim to solve. We'll also look at several integrated case studies.

Topics covered will include:

  • Framework background, goals and principles
  • Messages, Channels and Endpoints
  • Transformers
  • Filters
  • Routers
  • Splitters and Aggregators
  • Service Activators
  • Channel Adapters (Feeds, Files, FTP/FTPS, HTTP, Mail, TCP/UDP, JDBC, JMS, RMI, SFTP, Twitter, …)
  • Integrated Case Studies

About Matt Stine

My passion is taking a metaphysical approach to software engineering: what is the nature of the collaborative game that we continuously play, and are there better, more contextually-aware ways to play that game?

By day I lead a team tasked with taking a first-principles-centric approach to intentionally enabling programming language usage at the largest bank in the United States.

By night I write and teach my way through a masterclass in software engineering and architecture targeting early-career software engineers working in large-scale enterprise technology organizations.

What is the primary goal?

To win the game. More seriously: to get 1% better every day at providing business value through software.

Who am I?

I'm a 22-year veteran of the enterprise software industry. I've played almost every role I can imagine:

  • Software Engineer
  • Software Architect
  • Technical Lead
  • Engineering Manager
  • Consultant
  • Product Manager
  • Field CTO
  • Developer Advocate
  • Conference Speaker
  • Author
  • Technical Trainer
  • Technical Marketer
  • Site Reliability Engineer
  • Desktop Support Specialist

I've worked at Fortune 500 companies, a tenacious teal cloud startup, and a not-for-profit children's hospital. I've written a book, and I've hosted a podcast. I've learned a lot along the way, including many things I wish I'd known when I first got started. And so now I want to pass those learnings on to you, especially if you've only just begun your career.
