Overview of this book

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is typically an aggregate of the business, application, data, and infrastructure architectures of any forward-looking enterprise. Due to constant changes and rising complexities in the business and technology landscapes, producing sophisticated architectures is on the rise. Architectural patterns are gaining a lot of attention these days. The book is divided in three modules. You'll learn about the patterns associated with object-oriented, component-based, client-server, and cloud architectures. The second module covers Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) patterns and how they are architected using various tools and patterns. You will come across patterns for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), Resource-Oriented Architecture (ROA), big data analytics architecture, and Microservices Architecture (MSA). The final module talks about advanced topics such as Docker containers, high performance, and reliable application architectures. The key takeaways include understanding what architectures are, why they're used, and how and where architecture, design, and integration patterns are being leveraged to build better and bigger systems.

Mobile integration pattern

We need a faster way for mobile devices to integrate with enterprise services, and this necessitates the need for a mobile integration pattern. When we talk about the integration of mobile services with enterprises, there are two main possibilities that could arise during the integration:

  • A mobile application that is integrated with some function of the enterprise sends a request message to the enterprise system and gets a response in return
  • An enterprise system sends a push notification message to a mobile application

This flow is shown in the following diagram:
