Integration Patterns

Integration Patterns are design patterns and best practices for integrating different software systems and applications, including messaging, data transformation, and service orchestration approaches. Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP), as cataloged by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf, provide a technology-independent vocabulary and visual notation harvested from proven solutions to recurring integration problems, organized into Messaging Channels, Message Construction, Message Routing, Message Transformation, Messaging Endpoints, and System Management.

Integration Patterns is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Asynchronous Messaging, Choreography, Design Patterns, EAI, and EIP.

The Integration Patterns catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
