style="border-width:0px;">SOA design patterns</h1><p style="border-style:none;">Many organizations believe Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is dead, but that is not the case. Instead, the heavyweight, high upfront investment, top-down approach to SOA has been replaced by a much faster, lighter, bottom-up approach. A well-built SOA enables business growth and delivers value. A SOA framework allows for the acceleration of application development, reduction of risk of failure, empowerment of developers, and flexibility. Establishing a robust service-oriented architecture requires businesses take into account a number of elements, including <a style="border-width:0px;" href="/resources/esb/soa-governance-solution">SOA governance</a>, security, design patterns, and API Management.</p><p style="border-style:none;">SOA design patterns allow organizations to solve design problems quickly and easily through the use of proven solutions. Essentially, these SOA patterns are valuable pieces of information providing businesses with methods to take on challenges related to commonly occurring issues within the enterprise, such as API connectivity. Design patterns offer business ecosystems repeatability, consistency, and structure. Moreover, because SOA design patterns are battle-tested, companies are able to take advantage of a higher quality of design throughout the infrastructure. By following SOA design pattern best practices organizations can strengthen their <a style="border-width:0px;" href="/integration-solutions/soa/service-oriented-architecture">SOA architecture</a>, saving time and money.</p><div id="rtp-block"><div class="RTP_RCMD2" data-rtp-template-id="template2"> </div></div><h2 style="border-width:0px;">Why SOA design patterns matter</h2><p style="border-style:none;">Businesses have much to gain by implementing SOA design patterns. Design patterns provide guidance to solve recurring problems quickly and to build better <a style="border-width:0px;" href="/resources/esb/soa-integration-solution">SOA solutions</a>. As business ecosystems become more complicated with added services, security controls, validation, transformations, and infrastructure demands, companies need to optimize their SOA framework.</p><p style="border-style:none;">As challenges with SOA governance, API connectivity, and overall automation of business processes arise, design patterns play a critical role. SOA governance ensures that business processes run in accordance with best practices and regulations, while also providing businesses visibility into services and applications. With proven SOA design patterns in place, organizations can better manage and streamline business processes, making SOA governance an automated process. Furthermore, as more and more applications, APIs, services, systems, and data sources play a role in the enterprise, <a style="border-width:0px;" href="/resources/esb/soa-security-architecture">SOA security</a> concerns increase. Businesses can utilize SOA design patterns in order to streamline security across the enterprise to protect endpoints and APIs.</p><p style="border-style:none;">There are concerns regarding the successful use of design patterns. Business infrastructure, developer knowledge, and business requirements all contribute to the success of SOA design patterns. Without a well-established business environment, competent developers, and streamlined business processes, design patterns may not reach their potential. The implementation environment for SOA design patterns must allow loose coupling and the reuse of integration solutions. Developers must have knowledge about common SOA design patterns and know how and when to utilize them. Lastly, for SOA design patterns to be successfully implemented, business requirements must be addressed and understood across the entire enterprise.</p><h2 style="border-width:0px;">MuleSoft supports design patterns</h2><p style="border-style:none;">MuleSoft provides support for many integration design patterns through Anypoint Platform, an integration platform that makes it easy for organizations to connect data, applications, systems, and devices.</p><p style="border-style:none;">Anypoint Platform's Mule Runtime has built-in support for numerous integration patterns, including those listed in <a style="border-width:0px;" href="http://www.eaipatterns.com/toc.html" target="_blank">EAI Patterns</a> by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf. Implementing these patterns reduces the effort required to build integrations from scratch, giving developers time and energy to focus on creating better solutions. Mule objects allows the following patterns to be mapped out directly:</p><ul style="border-width:0px;"><li style="border-width:0px;margin-right:0px;">Integration styles</li><li style="border-width:0px;margin-right:0px;">Messaging systems</li><li style="border-width:0px;margin-right:0px;">Messaging channels</li><li style="border-width:0px;margin-right:0px;">Message routing</li><li style="border-width:0px;margin-right:0px;">Message transformation</li><li style="border-width:0px;margin-right:0px;">Message endpoints</li><li style="border-width:0px;margin-right:0px;">System management</li></ul><p style="border-style:none;">Mule Runtime enables a bottom-up approach to SOA; one that supports incremental adoption. A bottom-up method allows organizations to leverage a lightweight standalone Runtime rather than a full proprietary stack, giving them more flexibility. With Mule Runtime, businesses can leverage numerous SOA and API design patterns to overcome complex integration challenges. SOA governance and security can be better managed and automated with design patterns, ensuring business ecosystems remain safe and secure while following best practices. Avoid wasting time and resources developing integration solutions when leveraging design patterns with Mule Runtime provides the framework for repeatable, consistent, and proven solutions.</p><p style="border-style:none;">Learn more about <a href="https://www.mulesoft.com/platform/mule">Mule Runtime</a> and Anypoint Platform or <a style="border-width:0px;" href="/contact">contact us today</a> to see how MuleSoft helps businesses connect data, applications, systems, and devices more efficiently.</p></div></div> </section></div> </section></div></div></div></div></article> </section></div><div class="multipurpose-modal modal-servicetrace closed" id="modal-servicetrace"><div class="multipurpose-modal-content"><span class="multipurpose-modal-close">+</span><p class="title">You have been redirected</p><p>You have been redirected to this page because Servicetrace has been acquired by MuleSoft.
