What is an ESB?

6.
Analyst Definitions

7.
ESBs receive service consumption requests,
route the requests to the correct service
provider, transform the requests to a format
compatible with the service provider, wait for
the results, and deliver them back to the
service consumer.

Uses a bus architecture for scalability and
reliability, establishes a unified communications
channel, provides integration, mediation and
communication services and is standards
based.

Oracle Service Bus transforms complex and
brittle architectures into agile integration
networks by connecting, virtualizing, and
managing interactions between services and
applications.

Mule ESB is a lightweight Java-based
enterprise service bus (ESB) and integration
platform that allows developers to connect
applications together quickly and easily,
enabling them to exchange data.

The database should be available in 3-5 minutes.
! The database will be empty. If upgrading, you can transfer
! data from another database with pg:copy.
Use `heroku pg:wait` to track status

THE API IS OUR ESB!

22.
Problems Emerge
• Bottleneck in getting features released that touch API
• Difficult to get Analytics across the entire Org
• Hiring has become difficult
• API is down. So is the entire platform.

23.
PUSH vs PULL

24.
PUSH

25.
PULL Producers Consumers

26.
ESB Redefinition
• Pull over Push
• Consumers dictate their own consumption rate
• Independent development, scaling and scheduling
• Stop the world processing doesn’t exist
