下一代的iPaaS平台

下一代的iPaaS平台

       iPaaS是什么？Gartner将其定义为

“促进开发、执行和集成流治理同任何本地（on-premises）以及基于云的流程、服务、应用和数据连接的一套云服务，可以在独立的或者多个交叉的组织中进行。

Low-Code Development低代码开发平台

A graphical modeling system is desirable in a rapid development environment. This enforces self-documenting integration flows, where the graphical user interface represents a clear picture of the operations that are defined. This approach also reduces common bugs and inefficiencies that users may experience in a code-only environment. This approach especially attracts novice developers, who would prefer to work on a higher abstraction, compared to low-level code. Overall, this results in better productivity for all developers.

Low-code development itself has its own downsides. Sometimes direct code can be more productive due to its flexibility in customizing your logic. You may want to add a custom validation logic or a complex transformation with custom rules. These are best implemented in code. This may not arise often, but when it comes up, it can become a blocker or considerable amount of work in a low-code/no-code only environment. A possible solution is to provide a hybrid solution for the developer of having a low-code and a code solution at the same time. This way, a developer can select the mode and switch accordingly to have the best of both worlds.

Empowering Developers with AI 赋予开发人员AI 权力

Many integrations and codes we write contain certain patterns we often follow. By looking at existing integrations and user behavior, we can assist the developer in helping complete programming operations.

Data mapping: The platform can help developers to speed up data mapping operations by understanding the source and target data schemas. This will save time in manual data transformation and conversion operations.

Smart connections: Offer connectors in a toolkit that is compatible at a certain stage in an integration flow. This allows the user to quickly and easily discover which connectors are compatible in a certain scenario. After selecting a compatible connector, possible data mapping operations can be automatically presented to the user by the system.

Performance analyzer: Provide development-time performance predictions on the integration flows to understand the performance characteristics of future executions and make necessary adjustments as required. This allows developers to make decisions that were not possible earlier until a solution is put into production.

Predictive maintenance: By analyzing observability data, alert users on possible impending failures, performance degradations, etc. In the case where issues are detected, provide possible causes and suggestions for the developers to quickly diagnose and fix the issues.

Integration Patterns and Templates集成模式与模板

There are certain integration flows that occur naturally and more frequently. Due to this, developers will end up creating multiple similar integrations flows in their projects. We can eliminate this situation by providing developers with templates of frequently used and compatible integration scenarios. This allows developers to simply concentrate on providing a set of parameters to a template and adding any additional customizations when needed.

This approach will make sure that developers get instant solutions to work with and avoid wasting time re-implementing a scenario that was already implemented. Also, this assures templates are well tested and already used by many others during production.

以下以竞品Choreo 为例：

WSO2 presents the Choreo platform, an intelligent iPaaS solution that has been designed from the ground up to fulfill the requirements of modern development needs.

Full Development Lifecycle Management

Manage integration flows, from design, development, testing, deployment, CI/CD to monitoring.

State-of-the-art AI Assistance for Developers

Provides cutting-edge data mapping and performance analysis features and provides behavioral forecasting on how your system will perform.

Transparent Infrastructure Management

Developers simply express the deployment needs—and infrastructure auto-scaling, load-balancing, and fail-over happen transparently.

Fully-Featured API Management

APIs are the central interface for consumers.

Hybrid Graphical and Code Development Experience

The platform provides a low code + full code development environment. A graphical modeling experience is backed by a full code view in order to switch between any mode when required. Due to the inherent direct mapping between the code and the graphical UI, it generates clean code, without any special comments, annotations, or additional configuration files.

Automatic SDK Generation

Provides out-of-the-box functionality to automatically generate SDKs for various types of platforms for exposed APIs, such as web frontend/backend, mobile clients with Android and IOS, and many more.

No Vendor Lock-in

The generated code can be independently compiled and run on your own servers. This mitigates the risks of depending on a single platform, which is out of your control.

Hybrid Cloud-Ready

Provides a clear separation between the control and the data pane. The data plane can be run in the cloud or on-premises. In a situation where some services or data cannot be hosted in a public cloud, due to regulatory or other security restrictions, they can be hosted in a private cloud environment, while still being managed using the cloud-based control pane. This approach allows the users to have a centralized control pane, which has visibility into all their resources in the public and the private cloud at the same time.
