Developing Enterprise Applications for the Cloud,from Monolith to MicroservicesDavid Currie
Presented at IBM InterConnect 2105. Is your next enterprise application ready for the cloud? Do you know how to build the kind of low-latency, highly available, highly scalable, omni-channel, micro-service modern-day application that customers expect? This introductory presentation will cover what it takes to build such an application using the multiple language runtimes and composing services offered on IBM Bluemix cloud.
Aaron Lieberman, a MuleSoft Practice Manager and Lead Consultant at Big Compass will walk us through on how Runtime Fabric can deploy and manage applications deployed to AWS. He will also demonstrate on how a Mule 3 and Mule 4 application can run in parallel in the same Runtime Fabric. With any public API, it has never been more important to enhance your security posture and provide deep visibility with logging and monitoring techniques. Aaron will also talk about how security and logging can work seamlessly with your distributed application network to make supporting any application better.
Finally, any modern application must be highly available and provide fault tolerance. We will have some fun with wreaking havoc on our Runtime Fabric infrastructure, and see how the highly available architecture holds up against potential infrastructure outages and attacks.

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.

3. ■ We did not Google „open source ESB“ to select Mule …
■ Instead we did a qualitative and quantitative comparison of major open source ESB
products using different criteria:
■ Primary: professional maintenance, commercial support with SLAs, licensing, performance,
operations by IT department possible
■ Secondary: documentation, code quality, activity and size of community, Spring support, sync
and async communication, supported standards, app server integration, development tools
■ Mule quickly emerged as the favored ESB product, followed by Fuse ESB and WSO2
■ Static analysis of the Mule sources (Sonar,
Structure101) showed acceptable quality
■ Modularization and project structure looks well-
thought-out and enables light-weight deployment
■ Good code quality, in spite of found violations and
partially low documentation
■ Test coverage is reasonably high to ensure correct
function in case of changes
How and why we selected Mule
Based on the proposed architecture
scenarios we could
identify the requirements on the ESB
product
3
4. ■ Different load scenarios with constant and
increasing parallel requests (Apache JMeter)
■ Measurement of performance relevant
metrics using Software-EKG
■ Live profiling of system behavior (JProfiler)
■ All findings have been reported to MuleSoft
■ Together with MuleSoft we were able to solve
all the found issues:
■ MuleSoft supplied a working patch for the
Registry synchronization issue within 2 days
■ Other issues could simply be addressed using
the optimized configuration parameters (thread
pool settings, …) supplied to us
■ This was decisive for the confidence and the
final decision for Mule ESB
How and why we selected Mule
Intensive performance tests
uncovered several findings

11. ■ Mule provides several built-in components
to test Mule XML and flow definitions
■ The MuleFunctionalTest allowed us to test
our flows within the IDE
■ No deployment to a standalone instance
required, thus reducing turn-around times
■ The MuleClient is not really intuitive to use
■ Smart combination of SoapUI test cases
together with mock services allowed 100%
local and off-site development
■ Learning: develop as much as possible as
POJOs and use „traditional“ unit testing
■ Learning: take the time to write a good
mock for the service you are integrating
Best practices and learnings
Test driven development using
MuleFunctionalTests,
SoapUI tests and mock services

12. ■ „The Leanest, Meanest ESB: Mule ESB is the world's most efficient Enterprise
Service Bus” (http://www.mulesoft.com/mule-esb-small-footprint)
■ We went well below the mentioned figures by building a custom Mule distribution
tuned and optimized for our specific use cases
■ Based on the default distribution assembly XML found in the Mule community
sources, we
1. got rid of everything not required in production, mainly docs and examples, but also not
required Tanuki EXE wrapper binaries, etc.pp.;
2. selected only the required Mule modules and transports our uses cases really required, this
reduced the amount of 3rd party libs significantly;
3. used Maven dependency management to have full control of all used 3rd party libraries,
used more recent versions where possible (e.g. Spring, CXF, Saxon)
4. added our Mule apps and their dependencies, then repackaged
■ Thorough load tests lead to optimized JVM parameters and high performance:
-Xmx=128m -Xms=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m -XX:NewRatio=2 -XX:SurvivorRatio=12 -XX:+UseParallelGC
-XX:+UseParallelOldGC
Best practices and learnings

100% control of
all dependencies and optimal

13. ■ A migration of the whole infrastructure in one go would
have been impossible; the system needs to be
available around the clock
■ Instead a staged migration of the infrastructure
components and applications has been used:
■ Phase 1: Migration of all online servers, application by
application, introduction of the primary ESB with first
required services
■ Phase 2: Integration of a new online portal, operated in
parallel to the old portal infrastructure
■ Phase 3: Migration of all „legacy“ portals to access the new
online infrastructure components
■ After each phase the behavior of the new components
was monitored closely to detect any problems in
production
■ The services and backend systems integrated by the
primary ESB instance constantly grew (I might still be
growing in next phases)
Best practices and learnings
No big bang: start small and migrate
in several phases
