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.

Defining a push notification pattern

Push notification patterns are used if an enterprise application wants to send push notifications to the mobile devices. The steps involved in defining the push notification are depicted in the following diagram:

Enterprise applications typically use a backend service that is running on the mobile integration server to push the notification messages to devices. The following are the main steps in the workflow of the process:

  1. The enterprise application sends a push notification to the mobile device using the ESB and mobile backend service
  2. Once the ESB receives the notification, it calls the mobile backend service to send push notifications to the mobile device
  3. Messages pass through the mobile integration server to reach the mobile application and the mobile device

At the start of the chapter, we discussed several types of external applications...
