   WHY IS DATAFLOW A CHALLENGE ?

9. WHY IS DATAFLOW A CHALLENGE ?
   Managing poor reliability:
   I guarantee deliverability
   Big file / data for Purpose :
   I launch transfers in parallel
   Big file / data :
   I command data transfers
   Streaming for Purpose :
   I control communications
   Messaging :
   I communicate for purpose
   ESB
   Streaming :
   I communicate what happened
   ESB
   PUSH | ESB | DTO
   PULL | MOM | DTO
   PULL | ESB | BLOB
   PUSH | ESB | API | BLOB | DTO
   PUSH/PULL | ESB | ETL | GATEWAY | BLOB
   PUSH | ESB | ETL | GATEWAY | BLOB

10. WHY IS CHALLENGE UNDERNEATH ?
    This is a Human Challenge in first place
    How to maintain skillset: not having too many tools to manage turn over and
    to accelerate communication intern teams / simplify communication
    Let dev team be autonomous: not have an architect behind each developer
    but produce value, without impacting product roadmap / sustainability
    and ensure capability to respond business need with maximum responsiveness
    Simplify monitoring end to end: technical tool to monitor flows generally
    change while switching from ESB to APIM to MFT, Gateways…

    APP
    APP
    API
    Technical (E/W)
     Too many data types
     Too many structures
     Managing services becomes managing
    technical pipes : too long / not evolutive
     Too many services
     Too many connectivities
     Developer usually take the easiest path without
    consideration of perf. : low perf / not evolutive

13. 2 Challenges underneath
    SOLUTION : have a North South APIM that
    is multi-format and offers a « Business
    Service » oriented Dev. User Interface
    SOLUTION : implement micro-gateways to
    expose and monitor API usage and
    consumption at low latency
