Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
The main purpose of the service bus is to provide routing and transformation
between incoming client requests and backend services. The key benefits of the ser-
vice bus over point-to-point interactions are as follows:
• Enables loose coupling of the interactions between consumers and pro-
viders for seamless upgrades and maintenance
• Provides routing and transformation between incoming client requests
and backend services
• Eliminates service sprawl by acting as a services backbone
• Provides end-to-end monitoring and centralized management of the SLA
(Service-level agreement)
• Provides a centralized search and discovery of services that promote re-
usability
