Enterprise Integration Patterns: Designing, Building, and Deploying Messaging Solutions 1st Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
Enterprise Integration Patterns provides an invaluable catalog of sixty-five patterns, with real-world solutions that demonstrate the formidable of messaging and help you to design effective messaging solutions for your enterprise.
The authors also include examples covering a variety of different integration technologies, such as JMS, MSMQ, TIBCO ActiveEnterprise, Microsoft BizTalk, SOAP, and XSL. A case study describing a bond trading system illustrates the patterns in practice, and the book offers a look at emerging standards, as well as insights into what the future of enterprise integration might hold.
This book provides a consistent vocabulary and visual notation framework to describe large-scale integration solutions across many technologies. It also explores in detail the advantages and limitations of asynchronous messaging architectures. The authors present practical advice on designing code that connects an application to a messaging system, and provide extensive information to help you determine when to send a message, how to route it to the proper destination, and how to monitor the health of a messaging system. If you want to know how to manage, monitor, and maintain a messaging system once it is in use, get this book.

Utilizing years of practical experience, seasoned experts Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf show how asynchronous messaging has proven to be the best strategy for enterprise integration success. However, building and deploying messaging solutions presents a number of problems for developers. Enterprise Integration Patterns provides an invaluable catalog of sixty-five patterns, with real-world solutions that demonstrate the formidable of messaging and help you to design effective messaging solutions for your enterprise.

Gregor Hohpe advises CTOs and technology leaders in the transformation of both their organization and technology platform. Riding the Architect Elevator from the engine room to the penthouse, he assures that corporate strategy connects with the technical implementation and vice versa.
Gregor has served as Smart Nation Fellow to the Singapore government, as technical director in Google Cloud’s Office of the CTO, and as Chief Architect at Allianz SE, where he oversaw the architecture of a global data center consolidation and deployed the first private cloud software delivery platform.
Gregor is a widely recognized thought leader on asynchronous messaging and service-oriented architectures. He co-authored the seminal book 'Enterprise Integration Patterns' (Addison-Wesley, 2004), followed by "Integration Patterns" and "Enterprise Solution Patterns", both published by Microsoft Press. He was nominated a Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) Solution Architect for his contributions to the developer community and recognized as an active member of the patterns community by the Hillside Group. In 2005, Joel Spolsky selected Gregor's article 'Starbucks Does Not Use Two-phase Commit' for his 'Best Software Writing' (APress).
Gregor speaks regularly at technical conferences around the world. He likes to cut through the hype surrounding service-oriented architectures and captures nuggets of advice in the form of design patterns that can help developers avoid costly mistakes.

I have done Messaging and message based integration before, but this book takes essentially what is an art form and makes a science out of it.
First it starts with 4 different styles of integration (File based, Shared Database, RPC, Messaging) and discusses them intelligently giving their advantages and disadvantages.
Then it gets in to the major aspects/ pieces of Message based integration (Message, Channel, Routing, Transformation, End Points, System Management etc). It again discusses them as patterns and develops a good vocabulary of the messaging domain.
Then comes the meat where for each aspect of Messaging, it gives about 8 to 15 specific patterns, names them, shows their pros and cons, gives the trade off and intelligently discusses their usage. As part of the examples it draws example from JMS/ TIBCO/ MSMQ etc. Priceless.
What I loved about this book is how it makes you rethink everything you may have been doing before in software architecture/ integration using technologies such as Web Services, JMS, J2EE etc.
For example, many would not have fully groked MDBs as "event driven", "competing", "transactional" message consumers, that are suited for "Point to Point" integration. Yes I know every body uses them but do you really understand the implications for transaction scope and threading? . Or Polling message consumers have their advantages ?
Good discussion on relate standards and technologies included (Web Services, Axis Implementation, WS-*, SOAP etc)
Buy this guys and may be enterprise integration would be less messy.
In short, Enterprise Integration Patterns is an essential book for those working in the enterprise spaces that want to learn from other developers that have come before them and captured a bit of what they've learned. It will certainly help simplify complex designs and contribute to avoiding a host of possible missteps. Definitely worth your money.
The patterns explain the different problems one typically needs to solve to do asynchronous messaging integration with legacy and modern applications.
Many of the patterns are included in commercial middleware products like webMethods, Tibco, Mulesoft, etc. Others you will need to build yourself to solve specialized problems.
The book examples are JMS and MSMQ centric, with a few Tibco examples too. The code examples are geared toward building solutions with those simple technologies rather than showing all of the middleware vendor tools. Therefore, I wouldn't read this book to learn how to code things. Read it to understand how asynchronous messaging problems should be solved, and to evaluation SOA and middleware products for features that implement these patterns.
In the last few years SOA and microservices have been the buzzwords in enterprise integration, but there are still many patterns from this book you may use because there are still many legacy apps in use that can't be modified to directly support web services, and many tasks still need to be asynchronous and decoupled.
Top reviews from other countries
The only downside I can think of is that the book sort of conflates different kinds of messaging with each other (i.e. what it calls command messages, document messages, and events), when they are really quite different and should be split between truly asynchronous ones and real time ones. However, the fact that each pattern is self contained makes it less of an issue since you can just focus on the patterns relevant for your current context.
Patterns from this book are still relevent to microservices.
