10. • Rapidly create and publish any
endpoint as an API.
• Publish APIs for use on-premises or in
the cloud.
• Define usage policies and
authentication methods to control
access to deployed APIs.
• Use the Boomi API Gateway to mediate
between externally available APIs, inner
APIs and integration processes.
• Manage APIs and associated
application integrations in a unified
platform.
API Management
Designed to Manage APIs through Their Entire Lifecycle
11. • Centralized hub-
spoke
• Single data-center
• ..or multiple LoBs
that don’t
communicate
• Focused around one
point problem, one
LoB, etc
• Low to moderate
real-time needs
• No code/low code,
simple, citizen
integration
Typical Integration Looks Like this.
Integration Broker
• Connectors
• Orchestration
• Transformation
• Lightweight
Queueing
12. • Very Distributed
• Multi-datacenter
• Global integration
• Workflows that span
regions
• Cross LoB –
every system
needs to talk to
every system
• Keeping a
predicable
response time in
each system
becomes much
harder!
Enterprise Integration gets more complicated…

13. • And so we go to
option
1…Distributed
applications reach
out to the core
integration broker
remotely.
• HTTP req/reply
performance poor
over long haul links
• System to system
experience varies
from a performance

• Not very scalable
• Tightly coupled

14. • And so we go to
the Solution is
…Implementing a
core event
distribution mesh.
• Any pattern
(pub/sub, req/reply,
queueing in the
core
• Same integration
at the edge, but
with a more
decoupled/scalable
backbone WAN, long haul
