New book on Solution Architecture

After years of effort, I am thrilled to announce the release of my second book “Solution Architecture Patterns for Enterprise”.

How did it start?

It all started a few years ago when I decided to share my experiences through a GitHub repository on Solution Architecture. Eventually, it became a popular resource within GitHub and then I decided to write a book with greater details. Here I am today, releasing the book that contains a set of solution architecture patterns that can be used to build enterprise software systems.

Who this book is for?

Solution Architecture is a domain in that people from different backgrounds (majors) come and work. This book can be used as a getting-started guide for novel Solution Architects and a pattern guide for experienced folks. For University Students, this can be used as reference material to learn about Solution Architecture which is hardly taught at universities yet a considerable area of expertise in the software industry.

What is in the book?

This book contains 9 chapters covering the following topics.

  1. Introduction to Enterprise Software Systems
  2. Introduction to Solution Architecture
  3. Building Enterprise Software Systems with Microservice Architecture
  4. Building Enterprise Software Systems with Hybrid Integration Platforms
  5. Designing Enterprise Platforms with Event-Driven Architecture Patterns
  6. Securing Enterprise Software Systems
  7. Implementing Observability for Enterprise Software Systems
  8. Designing Next-Gen Enterprise Software Systems with Cloud-Native Architecture
  9. Industry Specific Architecture Patterns

Prerequisites before reading the book

None. This book can be read and understood by a novice as well as experienced engineers who are interested to learn about solution architecture. People from different majors work in the area of Solution Architecture and it is hard to find organized content to learn about it. This book tries to fill that gap by providing introductions to the basic concepts and then moving into technical details as quickly as possible so that all types of readers are interested in the book.

Where to buy/read?

The book is available through the following platforms.

Feedback

This is an attempt to share my experiences with the world so that someone in the other corner of the world can learn from them. I’m happy to learn from you as well so that I can improve my understanding and produce better content in the future. I welcome your feedback.

Understanding Threads created in WSO2 ESB

WSO2 ESB is an asynchronous high performing messaging engine which uses Java NIO technology for its internal implementations. You can find more information about the implementation details about the WSO2 ESB’s high performing http transport known as Pass-Through Transport (PTT) from the links given below. [1] http://soatutorials.blogspot.com/2015/05/understanding-wso2-esb-pass-through.html [2] http://wso2.com/library/articles/2013/12/demystifying-wso2-esb-pass-through-transport-part-i/ From this tutorial, I am going to discuss about various threads created when you start the ESB and start processing requests with that. This would help you to troubleshoot critical ESB server issues with the usage of a thread dump. You can monitor the threads created by using a monitoring tool like Jconsole or java mission control (java 1.7.40 upwards). Given below is a list of important threads and their stack traces from an active ESB server.  PassThroughHTTPSSender ( 1 Thread )

WSO2 ESB tuning performance with threads

I have written several blog posts explaining the internal behavior of the ESB and the threads created inside ESB. With this post, I am talking about the effect of threads in the WSO2 ESB and how to tune up threads for optimal performance. You can refer [1] and [2] to understand the threads created within the ESB. [1] http://soatutorials.blogspot.com/2015/05/understanding-threads-created-in-wso2.html [2] http://wso2.com/library/articles/2012/03/importance-performance-wso2-esb-handles-nonobvious/ Within this blog post, I am discussing about the "worker threads" which are used for processing the data within the WSO2 ESB. There are 2 types of worker threads created when you start sending the requests to the server 1) Server Worker/Client Worker Threads 2) Mediator Worker (Synapse-Worker) Threads Server Worker/Client Worker Threads These set of threads will be used to process all the requests/responses coming to the ESB server. ServerWorker Threads will be used to pr

How to configure timeouts in WSO2 ESB to get rid of client timeout errors

WSO2 ESB has defined some configuration parameters which controls the timeout of a particular request which is going out of ESB. In a particular  scneario, your client sends a request to ESB, and then ESB sends a request to another endpoint to serve the request. CLIENT->WSO2 ESB->BACKEND The reason for clients getting timeout is that ESB timeout is larger than client's timeout. This can be solved by either increasing the timeout at client side or by decreasing the timeout in ESB side. In any of the case, you can control the timeout in ESB using the below properties. 1) Global timeout defined in synapse.properties (ESB_HOME\repository\conf\) file. This will decide the maximum time that a callback is waiting in the ESB for a response for a particular request. If ESB does not get any response from Back End, it will drop the message and clears out the call back. This is a global level parameter which affects all the endpoints configured in ESB. synapse.global_timeout_inte
