Dr. Paul Fremantle, CTO and Co-Founder of WSO2 presented his vision regarding the “The Composable Enterprise”. The composable enterprise is an enterprise, which is agile enough to react on a changing market and a changing customer demand. Paul Fremantle: “We cannot change the future; we only must be able to adapt the change”. To do so the Cellery framework for a micro services approach is the perfect fit to manage, govern and secure your micro services requirements. Cellery is one of WSO2’s answer to the micro services architecture approach whereby all the knowledge and components like the WSO2 Micro Gateway and WSO2 Micro Enterprise Integrator (Micro ESB), next to the WSO2 Identity Server for securing the API’s by industry standards.

INTEGRATION

2. The Integration Imperative is Growing
Disaggregated architectures drive 50 billion endpoints, growing >1 trillion
CONSUMER DEMAND
Scale and agility are pushing
app disaggregation...
…that makes hybrid
integration the unspoken
challenge of all cloud
services

3. APIs create business agility
that fosters the rapid
business reconfiguration
necessary to continually
adapt to an unknown future
of constant change.”

Forrester Research
...And APIs Are The Glue
All integration is becoming hybrid integration

14. Why are APIs important?
• An API is a business capability delivered over the Internet
to internal or external consumers
– Network accessible function
– Available using standard web protocols
– With well-defined interfaces
– Designed for access by third-parties
• A Managed API is:
– Actively advertised and subscribe-able
– Available with SLAs
– Secured, authenticated, authorized and protected
– Monitored and monetized with analytics

15. APIs are the products of the 21st Century
● APIs are how digital value is delivered
● Monetized either directly or indirectly
● Increasingly intermediated, traded and marketed
● Not just between organisations but within
organisations as well

23. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from
self-organizing teams.
The Agile Manifesto
Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors,
developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace
indefinitely.
Deliver working software frequently with a preference to the shorter
timescale.

29. A team which:
● Manages its own work
● Pulls work
● Doesn’t require “command and control”
● Communicates effectively with each other
● Is not afraid to ask questions
● Continuously evolves skills and capabilities
