Adaptive and Iterative Integration for Microservices and Cloud Native Architectures
Adaptive and Iterative Integration for Microservices and Cloud Native ArchitecturesKasun Indrasiri Director - Integration Architecture, WSO2 |
Microservices architecture fosters building a software application as a suite of independent and autonomous services. Therefore any real-world application of microservices requires the integration or composition of multiple microservices. With the proliferation of fine-grained services, integrating microservices and building inter-service communication have become one of the most challenging tasks when implementing microservices architecture.
Unlike conventional centralized ESB based integration, microservices are integrated based on the smart-endpoints terminology, where all the smarts live at the endpoints while they are interconnected via a dumb messaging infrastructure. However, most brown-field enterprises need to have an adaptive and iterative integration strategy when catering to their integration needs.
Kasun will discuss the following during this session:
- Conventional centralized integration
- Role of integration in microservices
- Microservice integration patterns
- Hybrid architecture with centralized vs. decentralized integration for brownfield enterprises
