ACHIEVE AGILE HYBRID INTEGRATION
Replace a centralised approach with scalability, resilience & flexibility
Every modern digital enterprise requires a platform that supports the full breadth of integration.
In the age of virtualised hardware and typically cloud-based infrastructure, a traditional approach deploying all integrations to a heavily nurtured
pair of integration servers is no longer working. As a result, many organisations aim to move away from centralised deployment of integration
hub or enterprise services bus (ESB) patterns toward more modern, distributed and lightweight topologies.
Thus, opting for a microservices style architecture, also known as the “cattle not pet” approach. The cattle-like approach is known for:
Managing resilience and scalability not at the infrastructure level but the integration level.
Allocating integrations on-demand in a cloud-like infrastructure and scaling them horizontally.
Making changes through container technology to redeploy amended images and not by nurturing a running server.
Colocating and grouping by functional and operational characteristics only.
Treating infrastructure as code with both resources and code declared and deployed together.
Syntegrity Solutions leverages solutions like IBM App Connect Enterprise to help organisations achieve the benefits of the
cattle-like approach by making their integrations more lightweight and:
Multiple teams can work on integrations independently, which allows to change, rebuild, and deploy individual integration flows without impacting other flows, ensuring safer application of changes and considerably increasing speed to production.
With the ability to deploy new cloud-native applications integrated with existing on-prem core business systems seamlessly.
With isolated integration flows getting deployed in separate containers, there is no risk that they will affect one another by monopolising shared resources like e.g. connections, memory, or CPU.
