Why Enterprise Queue?

Enterprise queuing makes communication possible across distributed systems. Most modern-day queues offer persistent, highly available, scalable, and reliable communication. Especially with the rise of IoT and microservices, Choosing the right one has become a key in a middleware layer.

Picking the right queue enables seamless communication between various systems and applications in an organization. It also helps integrate with legacy systems and handle flows asynchronously. It offers

• Scalability
• High Availability.
• Security
• Data reliability.
• Better Performance.

Boomi Queuing:

Boomi provides an Atom queue with functionalities like enterprise queues, but it is confined within the boundaries of an Atom. Like enterprise queues, Atom Queue offers Point-to-point and Pub-sub options.

Apart from the Boomi Atom queue, it supports other enterprise-grade queuing technologies which integrate well with both legacy systems and modern systems. Some of the enterprise-grade queues supported by Boomi are

• Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)
• Azure Service Bus (ASB)
• Google Pub/Sub
• JMS
• Rabbit MQ

Benefits:

These queuing technologies make integrations seamless and robust. Also, these technologies bring on board some of the capabilities like

• Event-driven architecture for real-time needs.
• Pub/sub model for better performance and agility.
• Loosely coupled design for reliability and scalability.

Boomi has application connectors for all these technologies and each of these connectors supports Queue actions like

• Read from Queue
• Listen to Queue – Mostly used for Event-based flow
• Write to Queue
• Delete from Queue

Queue actions might vary based on the chosen connector. Also, the Operation of the queue depends on the connector and action.

Note: Most of the modern-day connectors are supported by Boomi and custom connectors can be built using Boomi SDK.
