ESB - integrations between applications
ESB development and implementation: how a service bus helps integrate IT systems and automate business processes
Integrations
Change one system without rewriting the rest
The integrations block must explain four ailments of rigid exchange: data loss, a cascade of rework, source overload and inconsistency. ESB, Kafka and n8n serve different tasks, not one hammer.
ESB
Routing, transformation, guaranteed delivery and low-code support of legacy exchanges.
Kafka
Durable log: an event is stored, re-read, multiple consumers read at their own pace.
n8n
Fast orchestration of a process and AI steps where heavy event streaming isn't needed.

-
We develop and support enterprise integrations between systems with payment after results are delivered
-
Build 50 flows for the sales department in 6 months
-
We developed 50 flows for a large retail holding in 6 months, from the start of discussions and requirements gathering to deployment.
-
After deployment, they do not require technical support.
-
We get it right the first time. 200+ successful enterprise flows across different tools.
If you have a monolith or point-to-point integrations, you have faced these problems
-
When you are inside the processes, it can be hard to set aside enough time and expertise for change. More urgent firefighting tasks demand your attention.
-
Adding new systems to the IT landscape takes a long time and is expensive, which means less innovation in the company. You cannot choose the best solution because you are constrained by time, the stack, or unstable integrations.
-
The development team is busy not with product growth, but with firefighting. Investigating outage causes requires a highly qualified developer and cannot be delegated to support operators. Developers burn out, and no new value is created.
-
The architecture has a single point of failure. If one system fails, another one breaks too, or several at once.
-
You end up choosing ad hoc solutions instead of building the right architecture. It is hard to do something new the right way - you would have to hand everything over, and that is slow, expensive, and unpredictable.
-
Information in the systems is inconsistent End systems contain poor-quality and conflicting data, making it difficult to work with suppliers and customers.
-
Integrations are inseparable from the product To fix an integration, you always need that product's developer. You cannot replace a system at will - that triggers a cascade of problems.
-
End systems are forced to process extra data You have a "universal package" that contains all product data. The CRM processes inventory every time, WMS processes media files, and so on. The systems are overloaded. Is there a need for implementation?

We build integrations that
They never lose information The ESB layer preserves the full message history and the data exchanged by systems. Even if an end system did not receive one message, or a thousand, it can be easily restored with minimal developer involvement. Integrated monitoring makes it possible to localize errors.
Easy to hand over to support operators ESB is a self-documenting layer with built-in monitoring, built on low-code principles. A support operator can easily isolate an issue when it occurs and resolve it by following the instructions.
Fast connection of new systems The service bus provides rapid development tools built around a broad set of preconfigured actions, for example: receive/send a message as JSON or XML over FTP; receive/send product data from one system, and if a required attribute is missing, fetch it from another system and then place it in a queue for delivery to a third system; copy an existing
the flow and adjust it to the requirements of the new system. Connecting new systems takes only a few days.
To make it easier to connect new systems, before the project starts we conduct a pre-project assessment, plan the flows, and map how existing and new systems will be connected. Learn more
Compatible with cloud and on-premises solutions Mature ESB tools have ready-made connectors for working with many cloud and on-premises systems. Even if there is no ready-made connector, it is fairly easy to create one. The tool does not limit your choice of application type, vendor, language, or framework.
Safe and controllable for any expert All message actions are visualized and easy to understand: if basic naming rules are followed, any business analyst can quickly figure out how the integration works and what needs to be changed. At the same time, the integration code can be packaged and deployed as a standalone service (a JAR or Docker image).
Enable marketplace integrations Having an ESB layer in the enterprise IT landscape makes it easier to simplify integration logic with external systems, such as marketplaces. Integrations through the ESB layer can be developed up to 16 times faster than code-based integrations. Changes in internal systems and marketplaces will require minimal rework. End systems that store product, price, and inventory data will not need to be extended or made more complex.
