  1. To ESB or not to ESB Ross Mason MuleSoft

  2. About Me

  3. Agenda When to When to When to When to When not When not When not When not Some Some Some Some ESB ESB to ESB to ESB options options

  5. “Vendor” ESB

  6. Reality Check

  7. Know your Architecture

  8. Architecture Checklist � Identify systems and processes � Create an integration profile � Map data flows � Set performance requirements � Define security requirements � Identify redundancy requirements � Quantify QoS requirements

  9. Bling, innit

  10. To ESB � Numerous integration points � Need to grow the architecture � More that one protocol � Mediation requirements � Scalability, Management, Monitoring, Transformation and Security requirements � Strategic Projects

  11. Not to ESB “We need access to a message queue”

  12. Not to ESB: RDD

  13. Not to ESB: YAGNI

  14. cha-ching I’ll buy your software Not to ESB: GOLF

  15. What are the options?

  16. Web Services • Pros: – Language, platform, and transport agnostic – Mediation support – Built-in error handling (faults) – Extensibility – Extensibility • Cons: – heavy-weight – verbose – Hard to develop, requires tools – Sprawling WS-* standards

  17. REST • Pros: – Language and platform agnostic – Small learning curve, less reliance on tools – Concise & Clean • Cons: • Cons: – Assumes a point-to-point communication – Lack of standards support for security, policy, reliable messaging, etc. – Tied to the HTTP transport model

  18. Custom code • Pros – Quick solution – Tailored to the specific problem • Cons – Need to maintain more code – Difficult to change over time – Need to build security, management, reliability – Slow to add new capabilities – No core business activity 18

  19. Integration Scenarios

  20. Simple Integration Frontend (web app) REST / Web Services Backend Service

  21. Partner Data integration Partner B2B Services Web Services Partner

  22. Public API Services Public API REST Web Client Web Client

  23. Mixed Integration Frontend (web app) ESB REST JMS FTP Backend Application Backend Service Backend Application

  24. ESB Integration Supplier 1 Supplier 2 Supplier 3 request bids order from Supplier 3 Inventory Inventory Fulfillment Fulfillment Bidding Bidding Order Service Order Service Service Service Purchasing bid selected create supply bid place order ESB out of stock Inventory request items Service Inventory

  25. iBeans easy service integrations

  26. Foundation • Abstraction for the complexity of SOA • Open source framework • Lineage, pedigree of Mule ESB • 15+ iBeans ready for production • “Micro-light ESB”

  27. Communication • Reusable Java modules • Bean interface to networked services – Not just SOAP, REST • Communications channels – Ajax from JavaScript – RPC – Java

  28. Use cases • Situations where an ESB is too heavy • Social media app integrations • Easy cross-webapp reuse • Point-to-point integration • Seamless migration path to Mule ESB

  31. Overview

  32. The pieces Runtime Container: Tomcat, Tcat, (Mule) iBeans Runtime Channels: HTTP, SMTP, IMAP, Formats: JSON, RSS, ATOM, REST, JDBC, JMS, XMPP, FTP XML, SOAP Scheduler Scheduler Transform and Bindings Transform and Bindings Application Annotations iBean Objects Web apps console your web apps

  33. Summary • Technology selection must be driven by architecture • ESBs are good for integrations with multiple participants participants • REST/WS are better suited to other integration problems • iBeans offers a point-to-point to ESB migration path

  34. Questions?

  35. • Embedding Mule in a web application not usually a good idea Web App Web App Web App Consumes services from ESB / Integration platform
