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.

Request-response pattern

To define a request-response pattern, it is necessary to ensure that mobile-ready interfaces are present in the enterprise services that are created in the ESB. This pattern provides support for the integration of mobile services in an ESB architecture. A special type of adapter customized for mobile services called a mobile integration adapter helps to integrate mobile applications with the mobile-related services that are running in the ESB. The major steps involved in this mobile integration are depicted in the following diagram:

Here is how the integration happens:

  1. As a first step, the mobile adapter sends the inbound request directly to the enterprise service.
  2. Then the enterprise service present in the ESB establishes a connection with the required backend systems to process the inbound request. The ESB also works with the backend systems to get...
