Mike is the inventor and architect of Pipi and the founder of Ajabbi.

Enterprise Integration Patterns is an excellent book by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf, and describes 65 patterns for the use of enterprise application integration and message-oriented middleware in the form of a pattern language.

Published by Addison-Wesley, 2004.

Gregor Hohpe is currently a technical director in Google Cloud's Office of the CTO.

There is an excellent website for the book.

The following integration types are introduced:

  • Information Portal
  • Data Replication
  • Shared Business Function
  • Service Oriented Architecture
  • Distributed Business Process
  • Business-to-Business Integration
  • Tightly Coupled Interaction vs. Loosely Coupled Interaction
