integrationsdesign
Integrationsdesign is the discipline of planning, specifying, and implementing connections between distinct software systems, services, or data sources to enable coordinated functionality and data flow. It encompasses the methods, patterns, and governance used to achieve reliable interoperability across organizational boundaries, cloud and on‑premises environments, and partner ecosystems.
Core objectives include ensuring data consistency, reliability, security, and scalability while minimizing latency and maintenance costs.
The typical design process begins with requirements and domain analysis, proceeds to architecture design and interface
Prominent approaches include API-led connectivity, middleware architectures such as an enterprise service bus, and integration Platform
Challenges include semantic mismatch, evolving endpoints, error handling and retries, security, data quality, and regulatory requirements.
