Parameter | Talend ESB | Classic development |
---|---|---|
Main settings | 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. |
Additional features | 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. |
Entry threshold | 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. |
