6. What is System Integration for Beginners
Understanding System Integration

7. 7
What is integration?
● Moving Data from Point A to Point B
Messaging Patterns
» Integration Styles
» File Transfer
https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/patterns/messaging/FileTransferIntegration.html

8. Thats Easy Right ?
● Moving Data Physically from Point A to Point B
● Common use case Backup & Data Migration
Floppy Disks DVD Pendrive Portable Hard Disks Magnetic Tapes
1.44 MB 4.7 GB 8 GB to 64 GB+ 16 TB HDD 15 TB TO Petabytes ( Library )

9. Much Easier ?
● With Cloud Storage Systems Petabytes of Storage

10. When Data is Really Large ?
Let’s do the Math?
100 PB = 10,48,57,600 GB
Network Speed 10 GB / second
Approximate Time to Transmit the Data from Point A to Point B on a 10 GB Per
Second Network ? 3 Months
10,48,57,600 GB / = 10,485,760 Seconds
/ 86400
= 121.362 Days
10 GB / Sec
Consider Reliability, Security

11. What about a Data center ?
● When the Data is Really Large.
AWS Snowball AWS Snowmobile
80 Terabytes 100 Petabyte

12. 12
The File Based Integration
● Oldest of the Integration Styles, Still Relevant
○ Commonly used in Data Migration
○ Energy Efficient when Its just Storing Data for Long Duration of Time
○ Backup & Restore data
○ ETL ( Extract, Transform, Load )
○ Logs, Analytics, Machine Learning, Big Data
● Drawbacks
○ Searching a Record in a thousands of files is like, Searching a Needle in Haystack
○ Reliability
○ Performance
○ Limitations with concurrent access to files for Read / Write Operations
○ Dependency on Hardware and complexities of big-endian (BE) or little-endian (LE)
○ Cost
○ File Size

13. Is really good but we need Translators !
● File formats, Hardware Dependencies, Software Dependencies, Incompatible Standards
● Realtime data requirements
● https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_formats

Messaging Patterns
» Messaging Systems
» Message Translator

14. But Files Needed to be Shared!
● Remote Terminals / Mainframes
14

15. But Processed Locally, Stored Remotely!
15

16. Better, Structured, Organised, CRUD
16
● Relational Database Management Systems

17. Little User Friendly, Shared, Distributed?
Copies of Same Application, Accessing Same Database
Different Applications, Accessing Same Database

20. Rise of Cloud & Containerization
● Let's put it all in the Cloud
● Scalability
● Availability
● Cost

21. Challenges the Past, Present and Future
Enterprise Integration

22. 22
● Different Systems
● Different Architectural Styles
● Different Data Formats
● Different Interfaces
But
● Data Need to be Consistent
● Data Need to be Synchronised
● Data Needs to be Available
● Data Needs to be Accessible
Now
● Information needs to be inferred from Data (Machine Learning)
Its Complex

23. 23
● 65 Patterns

24. Technologies, Architecture Pros and Cons
A Brief History of Integration
approaches

25. 25
Point to Point
● Hard to Maintain
● Tight Coupling
● Breaks with Even
Small Changes

26. 26
SOA - Service Oriented Architecture
https://www.cio.com/article/2434865/top-10-reasons-why-people-are-making-soa-fail.html
Software provides or enables or support a Service

27. 27
Microservices
Break it down to Smaller Services
● Governance
● Visibility
● Dependencies

28. API Led Connectivity
A Better Approach with API

29. 29
API Led Connectivity

30. 30
API Led Connectivity
● A Simple Combination of API’s in Layers
● An Architectural Style,
○ API’s First
● System Layer API’s Abstract Backend Systems
● Process Layer API’s Orchestrate Business Logic
● Experience Layer API’s Exposes Service
● Easy to Govern, Maintain and Scale
● Easy to build with Anypoint Platform & Toolings
