What is an ESB ?
The enterprise service bus (ESB) is a software architectural pattern that supports real-time data exchange between disparate applications.
Large organizations have multiple applications that perform various functions using diverse data models, protocols, and security restrictions. The ESB makes application integration easier by performing operations like data transformation, protocol conversion, message routing.
Applications pass relevant data to the ESB, and it converts and forwards the data to other applications that need it.

Frequently Asked Questions
The enterprise service bus (ESB) concept can standardize and simplify communication, messaging, and integration between services across an organization.
An enterprise service bus (ESB) works on service-oriented architecture (SOA) principles.
SOA is a method of software development that uses software components called services to create business applications. Each service provides a business capability, and multiple services can also communicate with each other across platforms and languages.
The ESB platform provides communication services that applications use to interact with each other. Some examples are message transformation, protocol transformation, routing, and authentication.
Today, the use of enterprise service buses (ESB) is limited primarily to legacy systems that require complex integrations. The ESB architectural pattern has been replaced by the microservices architecture, among other technologies.
A microservices architecture is made up of very small and completely independent software components with their own communication protocols that are exposed through lightweight APIs. It’s essentially the consumer’s job to use the microservice through its API, thus removing the need for a centralized ESB.
Many organizations have moved from enterprise service buses (ESB) to event buses. An event bus is a pipeline that receives events. It connects application components together based on events, which makes it easier for you to build scalable event-driven applications.
Rules associated with the event bus evaluate events as they arrive. Each rule checks whether an event matches the rule’s criteria. You associate a rule with a specific event bus, so the rule only applies to events received by that event bus.
A producer publishes an event to the event bus. The event bus filters and evaluates events as they arrive based on preconfigured rules, then pushes the events to consumers. Producer services and consumer services are decoupled, which allows them to be scaled, updated, and deployed independently.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a suite of application integration services. They enable communication between decoupled components within microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. If you’re curious, read more at Application Integration on AWS.
For example, you can use these services to meet your requirements:
- ShopCtrl API to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale for serverless workloads and web applications
- ShopCtrl Trigger Mechanism to build an event bus that connects application data from your own applications, software as a service (SaaS), and AWS services
