I had a very interesting talk at OOP 2013 in Germany. OOP is a great conference for software architects and decision makers. The topic of my talk was “Spoilt for Choice: How to Choose the Right Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)”. Hereby, I want to share the slides with you…

Abstract

Data exchanges in and between companies increase a lot. The number of applications which must be integrated increases, too. As solution, an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) can be used in almost every integration project – no matter which technologies, transport protocols, data formats, or environments such as Java or .NET are used. All integration projects can be realized in a consistent way without redundant boilerplate code. However, an ESB offers many further features, such as business process management (BPM), master data management, business activity monitoring, or big data. Plenty of ESB products are on the market which differ a lot regarding concepts, programming models, tooling, and open source vs. proprietary. Really one is spoilt for choice.

Learnings

This session shows and compares ESB alternatives and discusses their pros and cons. Besides, a recommendation will be given when to use just a lightweight framework for a specific problem such as systems integration or BPM instead of a (too) powerful ESB. You will also learn what an integration suite is, how it differs from an ESB, and when to use which alternative.

  1. Wonderful comparision,slides speaks a lot,i wish i was at the presentation.I was scratching the head reading a lot of blogs abt them individually.Thanks o lot for the information

  2. Extremely informative presentation. Thanks a lot. Wondering if you have plans to post the demos as well. 
    You didn’t discuss much about Biztalk. Does that come under a ESB or an Integration Suite? 

  4. Kai,
    Excellent slides. Thanks for sharing.
    Our idea is to integrate Salesforce, SAP and other internal web service and Databases so as to extract data and do analysis on that. Since the volume of data could be of higher size we would like to have Kafka as messaging service during extraction.
    Will I be able to configure Kafka in Talend Open Studio for Big Data? If so, what would be the ContextFactory and server protocol? Please help.
    Apologize if irrelevant. Thanks.

  6. Thanks Kai will take a chance with that option.
    Since we expect huge Volume of data (hundreds of GB data), we have an idea of moving the data to HDFS/HBase and perform analysis using MapReduce hence opted for TOS for Big Data. In that case is it advisable?

  8. Kai,
    I have a question on the usage of Apache Camel for my scenario. My scenario is to pull out data from many data sources and display in information portal. Is there any other open source EAI tools to fullfil this integration or can this integration be achieved effectively through apache camel?

  9. Sandiya,
    Apache Camel is the right framework – if you want to write the code by yourself. You can also use an open source ESB which offers tooling, modeling and code generation on top of Apache Camel, e.g. Talend Open Studio for ESB.
