Chapter 5 Designing the integration Layer Table 5-1. Integration Services and Capabilities Integration Services Capabilities services-based integration restful and restless (soap) service integration provides digital integration capabilities. it has small-scale to large-scale application data delivery and integration capabilities. api gateway integration an api gateway is an api delivery-based application system used to interact with multiple applications. DXp integration with an api gateway system enhances secure and flexible data delivery, and integration with existing applications. social integration the DXp integrates with social collaboration platforms such as, Facebook, twitter, instagram, and many more. it consumes their api and integrates the data in the DXp’s application. Microservices integration Microservices are designed in such a way that every individual service is independently deployable, small and modular services in which services run as a unique process and communicate and deliver data efficiently between the multiple systems to serve a business goal. Marketplace integration Marketplace integration helps business users to integrate with multiple channels: to buy or sell their services and products on different channels while consuming a single service. esB (enterprise service bus) esB is used in medium-scale to large-scale business requirements where multiple systems inter with each other, for example, a banking domain. in-built Connectors an in-built connector has capabilities to connect a DXp’s application to multiple components, such as a JDBC connector used to access a database or grpC connectors used to do remote procedure calls, etc. pluggable adapters integration frameworks have various pluggable adaptors such as JMs adapter, data stream adaptors, etc. these adapters are used to access and convert data from one form to another form. you can access data streams using these adaptors. 156
