Event Streaming

Event Streaming

What is Event streaming?

As traditional and monolithic landscapes are rapidly changing to landscapes with lots of microservices, technical solutions are becoming more and more decentralized and the number of data streams and their associated data handling is growing exponentially. Within these microservices landscapes, there are a variety of applications, frameworks and data sources, each exchanging data and responsible for a specific part of the overall landscape. In a chain of applications and services, each link in the chain may have a need for data from other sources and may also be a source of data itself. The integration pattern Event streaming can provide a solution for this.

Event streaming allows you to publish data without building specific integrations between 1 or more applications. The source publishes the data in the form of events and other applications can subscribe to them. The source knows who the customers are but does not maintain a relationship with them, it publishes data and the customers then decide for themselves if and how they process this data. This also means that data is offered 'streaming' and not in the form of a guaranteed delivered and processed message. Event streaming is therefore ideally suited for, for example, master data or transactional data distribution and is used to exchange data and events reliably, asynchronously and flexibly between applications.

Hoe PostNL CBS event streaming gebruikt

PostNL CBS, één van de bedrijfsonderdelen van PostNL, draagt zorg voor alle internationale verzend oplossingen voor zowel import als export. Het IT landschap van PostNL CBS kenmerkt zich door onafhankelijke functionele services die door middel van integraties gezamenlijk verantwoordelijk zijn voor het afwikkelen van het core business proces. Vanwege het hoge volume data, de relatief lage complexiteit van de te integreren data en het meervoudig gebruik van de geproduceerde data was Event streaming voor hen de gouden zet.

Hybrid use of integration patterns

The eMagiz iPaaS is capable of using the integration patterns Messaging, API gateway and Event streaming in a hybrid way. This provides a unified user experience and a single interface in which developers can work. For example, within eMagiz it is possible to use an API gateway for synchronous API operations and then redirect the request to an asynchronous stream to communicate with legacy systems.

De technologie achter het integratie patroon

To facilitate the event streaming integration pattern, the platform uses modern frameworks, including ActiveMQ, Artemis and Apache Kafka. Event streaming requires a distributed technical architecture, which is cloud agnostic in eMagiz and functions both in the cloud and on premises. When an integration model is developed in the eMagiz platform, it is then distributed deployed on eMagiz runtimes (in the cloud and/or on-premises).
