Planned topics

  • ESB: a central bus that routes and transforms messages, often on premises; strong mediation, risk of becoming a central bottleneck and monolith.
  • iPaaS: cloud integration service with connectors and low-code flows; fast for SaaS-to-SaaS, with its own limits and cost.
  • Keep business logic out of the middleware; use it for routing, mapping, and protocols.
  • Decide who owns flows: central team or product teams.
