Microservices principles are revolutionizing the way applications are built, by enabling a more decoupled and decentralized approach to implementation, creating greater agility, scalability and resilience. These applications still need to be connected to one another, and to existing systems of record. Agile integration architecture brings the benefits of cloud-ready containerization to the integration space. It provides the opportunity to move from the heavily centralized ESB pattern to integration within more empowered and autonomous application teams. We look at the architectural differences in this approach compared to traditional integration, and also at how it enables more decentralized organizational structure better suited to digital transformation. You can read a more detailed paper on this approach at http://ibm.biz/AgileIntegArchPaper. This presentation was recorded for Integration Developer News (http://www.idevnews.com/) and is available here: http://ibm.biz/AgileIntegArchWebinar
Implementing zero trust in IBM Cloud Pak for IntegrationKim Clark
Architecting for cloud native requires a completely different perspective on security. The attack surface, and the potential attack vectors have completely changed. Most of the past assumptions around people, processes, infrastructure and more are no longer valid. You have to assume any vulnerability will be exploited, and trust no-one - whether external or internal. You have to look at threat modelling to inform and prioritize the approach, and implement security based on defense in depth. This deck and webinar explore what steps we have taken to implement a "Zero Trust" model when we re-architected the integration portfolio to create what is now Cloud Pak for Integration, and how customers can build upon these in their own integration solutions.
The evolving story for Agile Integration Architecture in 2019Kim Clark
Agile integration architecture (AIA) has moved well beyond its roots around decentralization of the ESB into a more containerized and cloud native approach to integration. We're now exploring how integration modernization affects API management, messaging, events, file movement, and how all this dovetails with the iPaaS and more.
Agile integration concepts help to move integration landscapes towards a more cloud native approach. This brings benefits such as improved productivity, deployment confidence, granular resilience, and more efficient use of human and computer resources.
Those following this path, will recognize it is a journey, not a single step, and we at IBM are moving our focus to one of the most critical parts of that journey – progressively automating your integrations. This refers to automation at multiple levels, from lifecycle automation (CI/CD), to operational automation to enable site reliability engineering practices. It reinforces the essential nature of the operational consistency brought by container platforms, to enable multiple integration capabilities to be administered in increasingly similar ways.
It also becomes increasingly clear that in this more decentralized and distributed world there is an increasing likelihood that multiple integration styles will be used alongside each other and often even in the same solution. This further heightens the importance of automation as there are so many moving parts to be deployed and administered. It is here that we see huge potential gains from the application of machine learning to further improve the level of automation.
Agile integration architecture in relation to APIs and messagingKim Clark
Taking a broader look at agile integration architecture, exploring how it affects all aspects of integration. With agile integration architecture now established as the mechanism for breaking up of the enterprise service bus into more fine grained deployment and decentralized ownership of integration component, what are the implications on other aspects of integration? What does this mean for APIs? How do the APIs we expose map back to fine grained microservice inspired implementations? What can API management provide to help us manage the complexity and security challenges of heterogeneous multi-cloud implementations? Why is asynchronous transport gaining a refreshed momentum and how is event-based architecture different from queue based interaction patterns?
Where can you use serverless? How does it relate to APIs, integration and mi...Kim Clark
Serverless, aka. function-as-a-service (FaaS) is on-trend, and as with all new shiny things it is often both over and under estimated in the space of the same conversation. Where can and should it be applied, especially in relation to integration? Does it make provide a good platform for implementing APIs? What type of application would be appropriate to put on it? How does it relate to similarly elastic architectures such as microservices? If its functions are stateless, where and how do you manage state. How do you integrate to and from it? What are the benefits, and what are the limitations? This unique perspective is from the same experienced team that provided key clarifications on the comparisons between microservices, SOA and APIs.
The resurgence of event driven architectureKim Clark
Event driven architecture originally rose to popularity in the early 2000s, and it was far from new even then. However, topics described at the time such as event sourcing, complex event processing, and related concepts such as domain driven design have risen to the surface again. Cloud native principles, containerization, microservices, and the success of open source projects such as Apache Kafka have brought new relevance to these patterns. It is clear that RESTful APIs are not the only game in town for component interactions, but the interplay between APIs and events is subtle. We’ll explore the most common patterns in use today, their pros and cons, and consider what role events are likely to play in enterprise architecture in the future.
Convergence of Integration and Application DevelopmentKim Clark
This presentation is available as a webinar at http://ibm.biz/agile-integration-convergence
Innovative applications today are rarely self contained. They are fundamentally dependent on the ability to bring disparate data together in new and unique ways. This means integration is at the core of all new applications.
In the past, the creation of integrations and applications have been different disciplines. Nowadays, application developers regularly perform integration when defining and exposing their own APIs and events. Integration capabilities are now simply part of application developer's toolkit.
We discuss how this is resulting in a new generation of powerful integration-enabled applications.
Integration architecture for the hybrid and multi-cloud enterprise
It is a given that most enterprises are now spread between on-premise and cloud resulting in a need to perform integration across this hybrid architecture. Furthermore, most customers are seeing, or at least predicting a multi-cloud architecture. Multiple clouds from multiple vendors, providing a variety of different platforms, which brings a whole new set of integration challenges.
We will look at how integration architecture has evolved from service oriented architecture to take advantage of cloud native technologies and microservices principles. We will also discuss how integration is affected by multi-cloud issues, what the typical resolutions are. Also available as webinar: http://ibm.biz/MultiCloudIntegrationArchitectureWebinar

Building enterprise depth APIs with the IBM hybrid integration portfolioKim Clark
APIs are fast becoming central to the way that an enterprise presents itself to partners and customers, enabling innovation and automation. A well crafted API is today's front page advertisement for your enterprise's capabilities, but there must be substance beneath the API, for it to fulfil its promise. Success beyond initial launch of the API rides upon many factors.
In this talk we'll focus on the architectural elements that need to be considered in order to ensure the API will be secure, scalable, agile to change, manageable and maintainable. Along the way we will discuss how to leverage the sweet spots of IBM's hybrid integration portfolio to make your API initiative more productive, and maintainable into the future.
Interface characteristics - Kim Clark and Brian PetriniKim Clark
Back in 2011, Brian Petrini and I captured the approach we’d matured over the preceding decade designing integration solutions. We were in part driven by the fact that some projects were more successful than others over the long term. It often came down to whether in the early stages you had accurately explored the most important characteristics of the interfaces concerned. We tried to identify a vocabulary for describing interfaces in order to make it the early analysis more deterministic. A domain language for integration perhaps.
We first presented on the approach in 2008 at the IBM Impact conference in the middle of the service oriented architecture (SOA) boom. It was provocatively titled: Exposing services people want to consume, in a nod to the many “challenging” SOA project/programs in progress around that time.
Despite its age, we still regularly find ourselves referring to the concepts within it or getting requests for the content.
Since the papers were taken down from their original location, we’ve decided to re-post them here. Enjoy!
As application development becomes more agile, and the ability to rapidly create and iterate new innovations escalates, so too does the need to be able to rapidly scale up the solutions that become successful. Equally it is common to create solutions with relatively short life-cycles and so we need to be able to scale down to recover resources too. On a more fine grained level, to make efficient use of shared platforms such as Kubernetes, we need to be able to dynamically scale applications up and down based on fine grained demand. Inevitably all these challenges are just as important for the integration between applications. This session explores what scalability means for the key areas of integration technology - application integration, API management and messaging.
Hybrid integration reference architectureKim Clark
The ownership boundary of the typical enterprise now encompasses a much broader IT landscape. It is common to see that landscape stretch out to cloud native development platforms, software as a service, dependencies on external APIs from business partners, a mobile workforce and an ever growing range of digital channels. The integration surface area is dramatically increased and the integration patterns to support it are evolving just as quickly. These are the challenges we recognise as "hybrid integration". We will explore what a reference architecture for hybrid integration might look like, and how IBM's integration portfolio is growing and changing to meet the needs of digital transformation. This deck comes from the following article http://ibm.biz/HybridIntRefArch and is also described in this video http://ibm.biz/HybridIntRefArchYouTube
The role of integration is changing in today's digital landscape from a supporting capablity to a key enabler. Integration platforms are evolving to hybrid platforms, enabling mobile/digital apps, IoT and the API economy.
In this slideshow, we explain the shared LoQutus - IBM vision, referencing the IBM Hybrid Integration reference architecture and provide a stance on some myths.

IBM Interconnect 2016
To address a diverse set of needs coming from many quadrants (IoT, Shadow IT, SaaS adoption, etc.), IBM recognizes that the integration market must take a revolutionary step to get ahead of the needs of our customers. Enter the "Hybrid Integration Platform,” IBM's vision to evolve into the next generation of highly-productive integration offerings. In this session, we describe how IBM's Hybrid Integration Platform draws together the capabilities of its constituent parts—IBM AppConnect, Cast Iron, IBM Integration Bus, API Management and Bluemix—into a cohesive set of integration capabilities to enable digital transformation for the enterprise. This is a technical session focusing on architecture and technical details.
Placement of BPM runtime components in an SOA environmentKim Clark
The service oriented architecture (SOA) reference architecture is intentionally simplistic at a high level but it holds some surprises when you look closely at how components really interact. This is especially true in relation to the placement of business process management (BPM) componentry. We discuss the most common design questions including: Is BPM a consumer or provider of services? To what extent should a user interface, be decoupled from the BPM runtime? How do we retain agility in BPM while adhering to the architectural separation of SOA? These subtleties are critical when designing solutions to reap benefits of both SOA and BPM simultaneously.

Mastering Application Integration Challenges in Hybrid Cloud EnvironmentsSam Garforth
These are the slides from the Nastel Red Hat webinar of April 7th 2021. The abstract is:
Many enterprises are adopting OpenShift in their journey to building and running containerized workloads in on-premise, cloud-based or hybrid environments. These initiatives leverage multiple application integration technologies, such as IBM MQ, Apache Kafka or Tibco EMS.
But managing application integration in hybrid cloud environments introduces multiple challenges:
- Need a single point of control for multiple middleware
- Need to grant self-service and delegated authority to development teams
- Need to enable developers to test application message flows
- Need to address middleware upgrades & migrations
In this webinar, we’ll show you how Nastel Navigator can be used in the OpenShift environment to address these challenges:
- Automated discovery of middleware estate
- Simplified configuration management
- Full audit trail of changes (who, what, where, when)
- Secure, granular delegation of specific authorities to development and operations teams
- Full web-based command & control

DevOps within the Hybrid Cloud Deploying to the VMware Platform on the IBM CloudMichael Elder
Delivering quickly means leaving automation across applications and infrastructure as a wholistic approach to development, test, and operations. At IBM, we've made it easy to extend your existing VMware platform onto IBM Cloud - from provisioning new VMware clusters with vRealize Automation management all the way through deploying and operating your applications using IBM UrbanCode Deploy, the market leading DevOps release automation provider. We'll show you how to optimize existing app delivery processes without significantly re-architecting what you're running today. We will demonstrate how the creation of infrastructure automation can be done seamlessly onto the Cloud Foundation platform with direct UrbanCode integration into vRealize.
How do you deliver your applications to the cloud?Michael Elder
Cloud, Docker, Bluemix, and DevOps. You feel the pressure of a hyper-competitive marketplace, and you want to win. Your goal is to deliver apps to that make your users happy and excited about your brand and products, but how do you do that? In this talk, we'll provide a technical briefing for how you can use a DevOps-enabled toolchain to deliver your apps with speed and reliability to the cloud platform of your choice. We'll review how UrbanCode Deploy can deliver your applications to OpenStack, IBM SoftLayer, Amazon, and VMWare with a consistent and portable Infrastructure-as-a-Service approach; or how you can use Containers and Cloud Foundry for app tiers that change potentially many times a day. We’ll also focus in on some exciting new capabilities on our roadmap around Toolchains, Pipelines, Insights, and Releases.
Come take a look and ask your questions, and hopefully come away with a game plan to improve your delivery process today.

[APIdays Paris 2019] API Management in Service Mesh Using Istio and WSO2 API ...WSO2
Stefano discusses how to augment service mesh functionality with API management capabilities, so you can create an end-to-end solution for your entire business functionality — from microservices, to APIs, to end-user applications.
Middleware is essential for application development which increases the productivity of full-stack developers by bringing battle hardened functional capabilities covering the majority of a digital-driven project. However, with the adoption to Microservices and cloud-native application architecture middleware cannot use like used in the past, this is a solution for the above problem.
Complexity created by distributed computing encapsulated by the middleware for over two decades and made application developers productive by letting them focus on business logic relevant to their domain. Modern architecture and technology drift, such as Microservices, Cloud-native, and Serverless do not have room to embed middleware into the application development while the need is still there.
In this talk, Asanka is going to deep-dive into an API-centric, decentralized, and code-first approach to fill the void of middleware and make the application developer productive again.

Business and IT agility through DevOps and microservice architecture powered ...Lucas Jellema
IT needs to run in production in order to generate business value. DevOps is among other things a way of thinking focusing on production software. A business application requires a tailor made platform to generate business value. The combination of application and its platform is a DevOps product. The DevOps team has full responsibility for that product through its entire lifecycle.
The microservices architecture promises flexibility, scalability, and optimal use of compute resources. Via independent components with well-defined scope and responsibility, interface, and ownership that are evolved and managed in an automated DevOps process, this architecture leverages current technologies and hard-learned insights from past decades.
This session defines the objectives of Business with IT, of microservices and DevOps and introduces Containers and the container platform Kubernetes as crucial ingredients for making DevOps happen.
Microservices: Where do they fit within a rapidly evolving integration archit...Kim Clark
Do microservices force us to look differently at the way we lay down and evolve our integration architecture, or are they purely about how we build applications? Are microservices a new concept, or an evolution of the many ideas that came before them? What is the relationship between microservices and other key initiatives such as APIs, SOA, and Agile. In this session, we will unpick what microservices really are, and indeed what they are not. We will consider whether there is something unique about this particular point time in technology that has enables microservice concepts to take hold. Finally, we will look at if, when, where and how an enterprise can take on the benefits of microservices, and what products and technologies are applicable for that journey.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Maturity
§ Are you ready for a radical change in methods, skillsets,
infrastructure, operations.
§ Are you sufficiently automated (infrastructure, test, dev pipeline,
deployment etc.)
Maintenance
§ Will you be able to sustain the skillsets needed to maintain the
microservices architecture in the future?
Latency & Serialization
§ A request/response chained down a set of microservices must incur
extra latency from network hops and serialization
§ Serialization has advanced massively in recent years, but
inevitably has some contribution to CPU usage
Data sharing
§ Not all data can be split into neat independent functions. Some
things are shared, and this needs careful design
Real-time dependencies and their combined availability
§ Microservices calling other microservices synchronously need careful
consideration
§ Tends to creep, as one service builds on top of another
§ Need to move to more complex message based techniques and/or
introduce availability patterns such as circuit breaker
Manageability
§ How do you manage and monitor a vast network of microservices
§ How do you diagnose problems across a heavily distributed
landscape
How does persistence work?
§ Pessimistic versus Optimistic
§ How to handle shared objects
§ Relational / NoSQL
§ ACID / BASE / CQRS / Event Sourcing?
