Speed Up the Work on Integrations with Talend ESB

Talend ESB is a universal tool for fast integration of services and applications. Installing and configuring Talend allows developers to focus on the project's business logic, rather than on the complexity of technologies.

Talent ESB Helps Solve Multiple Tasks

Carrying out interactions during the system integration.

Developing data filling scripts (for example, migration scripts).

Enriching systems (for example, if you need to collect data from several systems and send the result to the end system).

Performing non-core tasks to create a simple service (for example, in terms of the time/results relationship, it is better to use the Talend instead of developing service on Python).

Talend ESB Capacities

Routing

The ESB service bus allows form different ways of sending messages — depending on their content and in accordance with the specified rules. You can filter and combine messages, or change their sequence as needed. The enterprise service bus can independently receive data from one system via a common API and transmit it to other systems.

Data Conversion

You can configure the internal ESB service bus rules to convert messages from a certain system to be sent to other systems. At the ESB level, a data flow can be verified, parallelized, transformed in many ways, and sent to the corresponding systems.

Scalability

The enterprise service bus has its own scheduling and load distribution mechanisms, that you can use to configure individual logic for getting and sending data from and to different systems and applications and to monitor their workload. For example, if your CRM can accept 100 transactions per minute in the daytime and 500 transactions per minute at night, the ESB will take this logic into account and will not overload your systems.

Self-documentability

All actions with messages are visualized and comprehensible: if you comply with the basic naming rules, any business analyst would be able to understand how the integration works and what has to be changed. At the same time, the integration code can be packaged and deployed in a standalone service (JAR or Docker image).

The Difference between Talend and Implementation of the Traditional Development

To implement the Talend job, there is no need to write a code — you can use ready-made components. The key task is setting up logic, transformation, and data conversion.

When writing a code in a traditional development, it is necessary to ensure the possibility of expanding the solution, and make provisions for the exchange protocol with a database or across systems. As a rule, individual components are not just a retail software, but a custom solution.

Talend ESB

Classic development

Main settings

Talend requires testing, building, and hosting, but its advantage is that it provides its own tools for this. We can choose whether to use a Talend hosting or our own one.

The code requires mandatory testing, building, and hosting.

Talend ESB is comprehensible even if a person is not an IT specialist — the knowledge of the basic concepts will be enough to complete the tasks. For example, using the Data Mapper tool, a business analyst can independently convert documents from one format to another.

High entry threshold. A senior-level developer is required to design the solution, and a middle-level developer – to further develop it.

Additional features

Entry threshold

Talend ESB allows a developer to configure jobs, each responsible for a specific functionality, without wasting time on code writing.

Talend ESB service bus is a tool for business analysts and project managers. Managers can use it independently, without developers' help to perform simple tasks, such as file convertion from one format to another.

The Main Talend Advantage is a Low-code Approach

Job — a service, which is responsible for a specific functionality and allows setting up its logic and the operating procedure.

Our Cases

FM Logistic is an international logistics company that provides warehousing, cargo handling and packaging solutions, and supply chain services.

Objective

The number of client's projects is constantly growing. It was necessary to find a solution that would speed up the development and integration of new systems, as well as allow managers to perform basic tasks independently, without developers' help.

Solution

The implementation of the Talend ESB service bus in the project infrastructure allowed us to speed up integration process by 4 times. Now, instead of writing a code, the developer just configures a job responsible for a specific functionality. Using the Talend ESB, the managers can work independently, without developers' help to perform simple tasks, such as file convertion from one format to another.

The Talend bus allowed saving time on routine management tasks, giving developers extra time for more complex tasks.

A major retailer, one of the leading Russia's suppliers of medicinal products and medical devices.

Objective

The client was aiming at the retail segment, which required a large number of integrations. The existing servers were insufficient for the increasing load, and it was necessary to optimize the website and increase its fault tolerance.

Solution

To remove extra load from the site and simplify integration, we decided to implement the ESB service bus. At the development start, we were choosing between the two platforms — Talend ESB and Red Hat Fuse. In accordance with the client's requirements and objectives, our final solution was the Talend. With the help of Talend ESB, we managed to reduce the time for Pimcore and marketplaces integration with the website, 1C and the medications directory.

Also, to expand the functionality and control the Talend ESB operation, we installed:

Apache Kafka Message Broker;
Checkmk monitoring system;
ELK logging system.

OUR WORK PRINCIPLES

The manager's task is to develop the client's project by improving its metrics. Therefore, we pay close attention not only to the recruitment process (more than 100 interviews per vacancy), but also to the constant improvement of our current team.

We support processes that allow analyzing all the required metrics and provide simple communication with us for big Russian and international businesses.

Deep expertise and a wide range of technologies applied to enable project implementation on any stack and the use of a low-code system or a ready-made solution.
