The Evolution of Enterprise Integration -

Recently I have written a white paper on the evolution of Enterprise Integration where I discussed about the history of Enterprise Integration, SOA, ESB, API-Management and the future of integration technologies such as iPaaS(Integration Platform as a Service).

The need to seamlessly connect cloud and mobile apps, multiple data streams, social media, and on-premises systems is challenging IT groups to keep pace with a rapid evolution in enterprise integration. A new white paper from WSO2 addresses this demand by presenting how to implement a modern integration platform that empowers the enterprise to build an internally and externally connected business.
The white paper, “The Evolution of Integration: A Comprehensive Platform for a Connected Business,” was written by WSO2 Software Architect Kasun Indrasiri. It begins by discussing the several architectural approaches to integration. The paper then explores how the bus architecture and the advent of the service-oriented architecture (SOA) led to the evolution of the enterprise service bus (ESB) as the enterprise integration backbone.
Next, the paper examines how managed APIs serve to extend the capabilities of a SOA and ESB by exposing business functions in a managed, accessible, monitored and adaptive way. It then looks at how organizations can build effective enterprise integration solutions by leveraging an ESB and API management through an API façade pattern.
Additionally, the paper explores hybrid integration platforms as a new way to connect cloud based, mobile and on-premise systems. It also provides an overview of a lean, modern and cost-effective integration platform, powered by WSO2 software, in practice.

Understanding Reactor Pattern with Java NIO

Why non-blocking IO A typical server application, such as a web server, needs to process thousands of request concurrently. Therefore, the modern web server needs to meet the following requirements. Handling of thousands of connections simultaneously (significant number of connections may be in idle state as well) Handling high latency connections Request/response handling needs to be decoupled Minimize latency, maximize throughput and avoiding unnecessary CPU cycles Hence, to cater to such requirements, there can be several possibilities in the server application architecture. Having a pool of sockets for each client, and periodically polling them: This is the most straightforward approach; however, it is more or less impractical without non-blocking sockets. This is extremely inefficient and never scales with the increasing number of connections. Thread per socket: This is the conventional approach and was initially used in some applications and this is the only practical solution wi...

A new journey.. A new working place.. WSO2 Inc.

I guess switching blogs is less riskier than switching jobs. Anyway I had to take that risk of switching jobs in last month (12/2009) as I've joined WSO2 as a Senior Software Engineer. My very first job lasted only one and half years owing to various issues I had with the type of work I got during my first employment. However it was a good experience on some rare technologies like Search Engines and Indexing.. and not forgetting C++. Now.. the context has changed.. technologies has changed.. environment has changed... So I believe it's a whole new experience to me to work for WSO2 , which is a renowned Open Source SOA Company. These are my first few steps in the world of SOA and Web Services...

WSO2 ESB 4.5.0 Released !!!

Imagem
We have just released WSO2 ESB 4.5.0, the High Performance Open Source ESB,which is the first ESB version based on enhanced WSO2 Carbon 4 platform.  I would like to give an high level overview of WSO2 ESB 4.5.0's new features and improvements.  XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0 support In most of the integration scenarios, we need to leverage the new features of XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0. WSO2 ESB 4.5.0,  comes with XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0 support. Also, we did a major performance enhancement with the introduction of Saxon as the deafult XSLT/XPath engine.   JSON  Integration is all about handling diverse message types. In that context, JSON plays a major role as numerous APIs are exposed via JSON.  In ESB 4.5.0, we introduce a brand new JSON implementation, which can be used to Streaming JSON (JSONStreamFormatter and JSONStreamBuilder) messages through ESB. In case, if we need to mediate message based on the message content (rather than streaming), th...
