Summary
In this chapter, we discussed how typical enterprise software systems are built using different types of applications, as well as how the integration platforms help such systems build systems that interact with these different systems. We talked about the brownfield enterprise architecture and how that is being transformed into an API-driven enterprise platform using an integration platform. Then, we looked at how microservices fit into this architecture and work shoulder to shoulder with the integration platform.
Finally, we implemented a sample enterprise platform with our OPD application, the NATS server, and the WSO2 integration platform. By reading this chapter, you learned the concepts of enterprise software systems and how disparate systems work together to achieve common business goals by using an API-driven approach with an integration platform. This chapter also helped you understand how microservices coexist with integration platforms in a typical enterprise system...
