Client
A major retailer and one of the leading suppliers of medicines and medical devices in CIS.
Challenge
The client wanted to enter the retail segment, but this required a large number of integrations. The current servers could not handle the growing load, so it was necessary to offload the website and make it more fault-tolerant.
Solution
To offload the website and simplify integrations, it was decided to implement an ESB service bus. At the start of development, we considered two platforms: Talend ESB and Red Hat Fuse. Based on the client's requirements and tasks, the Talend bus was chosen. With Talend ESB, we were able to reduce the time needed to integrate Pimcore and marketplaces with the website, 1C, and the RLS reference directory.
In addition, the following were installed to extend functionality and monitor Talend ESB:
- Apache Kafka message broker;
- Checkmk monitoring system;
- ELK logging system.
