New decentralized approach to integration makes it easier to get real-time data flowing between systems across environments, geographies and organizations.
Solace has announced the addition of micro-integrations to its event-driven integration and streaming platform Solace PubSub+ Platform.
The new Solace PubSub+ Micro-Integrations are small, lightweight event-driven integration modules that connect enterprise technologies – including legacy and SaaS applications, messaging services, databases, files, AI agents etc – to an event-driven distribution layer, called an event mesh, enabling information exchange in real-time.
Specifically, PubSub+ Micro-Integrations liberate events data from source systems so it can be streamed over the event mesh, then seamlessly integrate the data to target systems. Consisting of a connector to get events on and off the event mesh, as well as one or more processors that transform event data for easy re-use by other micro-integrations, Solace PubSub+ Micro-Integrations are designed to help enterprises gain more value from their existing iPaaS and API management platforms.
The launch is part of Solace’s ongoing efforts to champion an architectural re-think to enterprise integration.
Synchronous, point-to-point integration methods such as iPaaS and ESB are not built to handle the ever-growing volumes of data coursing through modern enterprises via the thousands of applications that need to share real-time information. The end result is often a complex web of connectivity that is fragile, cannot deal with data volume bursts and is prone to failures and outages.
An event-driven integration approach moves integrations to the edge, with decentralized and real-time data flows and events in the middle, underpinned by an event mesh’s on-demand, “data as a service” network of event brokers, receiving messages in real-time and reacting accordingly. This is further complemented by an event portal, for the design and management of event streams and micro-integrations to facilitate connectivity of publishers and subscribers.
“Solace PubSub+ Micro-Integrations are about to revolutionize the integration of applications in much the same way microservices changed the game for applications themselves – by decomposing monolithic integration flows into smaller, more manageable, purpose-built components,” said Shawn McAllister, CPO and CTO at Solace.
“In doing so, Solace Micro-Integrations will enable the event-driven integration it will take to meet the performance, reliability, agility and scalability needs of increasingly connected, real-time and intelligent enterprises.”
