Patterns for structured integration of heterogeneous systems using messaging, routing and transformation to reduce coupling and increase reliability.
Integration patterns describe recurring solutions for connecting heterogeneous systems and mediating messages, data, and processes. They provide structured concepts such as messaging, routing, transformation, and orchestration to reduce coupling, enable scalability, and improve fault tolerance. Applicable in enterprise and event-driven architectures.
Measured time between event production and complete processing.
Number of processed messages per time unit.
Proportion of failed processing attempts out of all attempts.
Use of Apache Kafka as an event bus for asynchronous distribution and scaling of events.
Routing and transformation rules implemented in Camel integration flows.
API gateway consolidates external calls, authentication and routing and provides a unified integration façade.
Analyze integration requirements and select relevant patterns
Prototype implementation with chosen infrastructure (broker, adapter)
Operationalize: establish observability, SLAs and error handling
