Chapter 5. Conclusion

Leveraging OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat JBoss Middleware xPaaS images together yields a powerful platform capable of hosting a highly-available and elastic microservice architecture. This reference architecture provides an example of such an architecture, with a microservices API Gateway pattern implementation at its center to allow for a variety of upstream consumer types to interact with both event-driven and RESTful downstream services in a singular, consistent way. In doing so, this document shows how Fuse Integration Services 2.0 can aid in development and configuration of Enterprise Integration Pattern components such as the gateway implementation and event-driven microservices. With this simplified approach to implementing integration patterns, development efforts remain focused on business requirements and related feature implementation. In closing, Red Hat JBoss Middleware offerings within OpenShift Container Platform, such as FIS 2.0, A-MQ Messaging, EFK Stack Aggregated Logging and Enterprise Application Platform, enable authoring of complete, maintainable, highly-available and elastic cloud-native microservice architecture solutions.
