We have posted a lot about agile integration over the years. It refers to the use of techniques from microservices application architecture within the integration space to create more componentized and decoupled topologies. This offers potential gains in agility of delivery, more elastic scalability and greater resilience of individual integrations. Note that in the past we have also called this “lightweight integration”, but over time agile integration architecture has become a more accepted term. Back in 2015 we introduced production support for Docker to IBM Integration Bus. In parallel we used that capability to create our managed service IBM Integration Bus on Cloud – an elastically scalable subscription based platform. We have since created a growing amount of material, and product enhancements exploring aspects such as containerization through Docker and workload orchestration through Kubernetes. This post collates the most recent and relevant resources in this space and will be updated as we create new material Agile Integration Architecture with IBM Integration Bus March 31st, 2017 12-factor integration with IBM Integration Bus April 16th, 2017 Overview of IBM Integration Bus and Kubernetes August 23, 2017 IBM Integration Bus, Kubernetes and the Bluemix Container Service Aug 23, 2017 Cattle not pets with IBM Integration Bus August 31st, 2017 Messaging in microservices architecture September 15th, 2017 IIB and MQ with Micro Services Builder on IBM Cloud Private January 12th, 2018 Part 1: The fate of the ESB February 13th, 2018 Part 2: Moving to lightweight, agile integration architecture February 13th, 2018 iDevNews webcast on agile integration architecture May 8th, 2018 Messaging and Event Streaming Use Cases 18th May 2018 When does ACE need a local MQ server?
