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.

API gateway pattern

There are several challenges in the MSA world. Microservices are generally fine-grained and each of them is blessed with a granular API. The other characteristics include different services are being coded using different languages and many data transmission protocols and data persistence methods. In short, services support the polyglot architecture. Further on, there are several client options such as desktop, mobile, wearable, portable, and fixed devices. There are telling scenarios that consume data and application logic from different and distributed microservices and data services. Precisely speaking, we are heading into the days of distributed computing. Microservices need to find the appropriate services to interact with and contribute to completing the desired business functionality and goals in a time-bound and SLA-compliant manner.
