While the simplest of integrations may involve a straight forward Data transfer between two backend Data stores,
Next on the line can be a need to update multiple data stores, and then of course, do it real time.
Subsequent scenarios may involve transformation of data to cater to the semantics and the idiosyncrasies of the destination systems.
You will come across entities or their attributes that does not have an equivalent entity on the destination. You will also come across Need to have some mandatory entities created in the destination store, when the source has nothing equivalent to send across.
Further there can be workflows triggered based on incoming data, and of course the workflow themselves may enable data changes across multiple systems
So what, why should I be concerned?
Well unfortunately or fortunately, I have had the opportunity to work on programs which involved Integration between such disparate systems.
We have had successes and failures along the way, with a horde of factors contributing to those results.
It makes sense to reflect on what I learnt and summarize for future.
I will probably take a couple of weeks… to gather my thoughts.
