Magento has long been the core system connecting and integrating various business systems. With Magento 2, we have even more tools at our disposal for these integrations – APIs, webhooks & RabbitMQ are all available to us. In this talk, we’ll cover how to determine which integration method to use for your project and work through a sample ERP integration utilizing Magento 2 Enterprise.

Integrations

5. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Discussing complex, data-
intensive integrations

6. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Let’s look at the new option in
Magento 2

7. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
What is it? How do we use it?

8. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Magento 1 Integration Options
• SOAP API
• REST API*

9. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Magento 2 Integration Options
• SOAP API
• REST API
• Web Hooks*
• RabbitMQ*

10. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
RabbitMQ

11. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Messaging Queue

12. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Messages can be plaintext, process
commands or any other type of
information.

13. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Queue is a place where messages are
held until a consumer connects and
retrieves them.

14. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
In other words…

18. RabbitMQ:These Go to 11

19. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
RabbitMQ consistently sorts and delivers over
one million messages per second
http://bit.ly/2c303Wy

20. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Magento hands a message off to
RabbitMQ to be handled
asynchronously

21. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
RabbitMQ can be clustered as
you scale up

22. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
RabbitMQ decouples your Magento
code from your integrations using
messages

23. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
To harness the power of
RabbitMQ…

24. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
think
different

25. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Bi-directional sync between an
ERP/OMS and Magento

26. Old Way

27. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
When an order is placed, an event is
fired and an observer handles sending
the order data to the ERP

28. New Way

29. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Fire a message to RabbitMQ,
move on

30. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
MagentoFrameworkMessageQueue
PublisherInterface $publisher
$publisher->publish('creatuity.sent.oms', $this-
>orderInterface);

31. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Topics
• ‘creatuity.sent.oms’ is the topic
• RabbitMQ can be configured to use topics to route messages to
specific queues
• Wildcard routing is possible - i.e., ‘creatuity.*’ would match all
topics that start with ‘creatuity.’
• Topics allow the consumers connected to RabbitMQ to easily grab
only the messages they need to process

33. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Messages
• Can be an object, can be a string - can be anything you’d like
• Allows the application on either end of the integration to use their
native format
• Keep it simple

34. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Route responses to your Magento
code via communication.xml

35. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
<config xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Communication/etc/communication.xsd">
<topic name="creatuity.sent.oms" request="MagentoSalesApiDataOrderInterface">
<handler name="creatuityoms.sent.oms.handler" type="CreatuityOmsModelOms" method="saveOmsNum" />
</topic>
<topic name="creatuity.sent.magento" request="MagentoSalesApiDataOrderInterface" >
<handler name="creatuityoms.sent.magento.handler" type="CreatuityOmsModelOms" method="saveOmsNum" />
</topic>
</config>

36. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
public function saveOmsNum(CreatuityOmsModelOms $oms)
{
$oms->setData('MagentoOrderNum', $oms->getOrderNum());
$oms->setData('OmsOrderNum', $oms->getOmsNum());
$oms->save();
}

37. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Advantages of RabbitMQ
• RabbitMQ can route messages to specific queues for you
• Decouples your code from the API on the other side of the
integration
• There is a RabbitMQ client for every major language
• Magento developers write Magento code, ERP developers write
ERP code

Gotchas

39. 2.0
2.1 2.2

40. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Magento 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 all contain
major changes to message queues

42. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Magento Enterprise Edition Only

44. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
One more service to support in
your web stack

45. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Magento Cloud Edition is a good
option to offset this

46. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Homework

47. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Go try RabbitMQ out

48. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
The key to success with
RabbitMQ & all of Magento 2…

49. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Stop trying to apply old
patterns and techniques

50. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Keep up with the new features
and architectural advances

51. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
RabbitMQ enables us to quickly integrate
third-party systems in a new way

52. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
We still don’t know the upper
bound of Magento 2’s scalability

53. @JoshuaSWarren #MageTitansUSA
Go build something awesome!
