A quick walk-through of Dell Boomi!

1. Dell Boomi
A walkthrough

2. Build, deploy and manage from browser –
basically do everything from browser!

3. Various types of components available,
mainly :-
Connection + Connection operation: What to connect to and then
what to do on that connection? For example connect to Database
(With connection) and do XYZ operation.
Profile – a kind of schema/blueprint for various data formats (XML,
JSON, Database, EDI and Flat file currently)
Map – Transform from one format to another with filters,
modifications (with functions etc.)

4. Many connections available
OOTB
Database or HTTP client are rather trivial
example but connectors available for
Salesforce, NetSuite, JIRA and such many
systems – which enables quicker development
Why code when you can build?

5. Processes- is what you build from
components and execute as a basic unit
Supports various “execution” and “logic” type of components like
branching, decision construct, looping, try/catch etc.

6. Deploy & Manage
• Atom – is the execution agent which executes Dell Boomi processes.
• It can be a machine on premise on which you install Atom or an atom
in cloud which Dell Boomi provides.
• You can deploy a process on multiple agents and one agent can do
multiple processes
• Atoms can be scaled as you want
• Of course there is reporting!

7. Closing thoughts!
The good
Really simple to get started
Whole show can be managed
through browser
Seamless scaling with two kinds
of atoms
Good number of OOTB
operations/integrations
available
Can be better
Customization possible but
specialized (With connector SDK)
OOTB connectors customizable
to certain extent only.
Comparatively less flexibility
