Global Scale ESB with Mule
4 likes1,895 views
This document discusses how to scale Mule applications globally through techniques like parallel processing, asynchronous tasks, orchestration, messaging backbones, clustering, and load balancing. It describes common problems with performance, integration, security, and transactions in large enterprises and how Mule addresses these through features such as transactions, computation optimization, identifying bottlenecks, and using external services like databases and messaging infrastructure.

- 1. Global Scale ESB with Mule Andrew D Kennedy [email protected] March 2011
- 2. Who Am I • Enterprise Java Developer • Apache Qpid Committer • Previously Security Engineer • Over 15 Years Java Experience • Worked with various Investment Banks • Interested in Data Mining and Visualisation
- 3. This Presentation • What is an ESB • What is Mule • Mule Applications • Mule Scalability
- 4. What is an ESB • Enterprise Service Bus • SOA – Service Oriented Architecture • SEDA – Staged Event-Driven Architecture • EIP – Enterprise Integration Patterns
- 5. Service Oriented Architecture • Services – Shared Business Functions • Decoupling – Local and Remote Services • Distributed Applications • Directory and Discovery
- 6. EIP • Similar to Design Patterns – Gang of Four Book • Shared Terminology • Names for Common Concepts • Allows Discussion • Simplifies Design
- 7. (Some) Common Patterns • Aggregator (268) • Channel Adapter (127) • Content Based Router (230) • Dead Letter Channel (119) • Selective Consumer (515) • Message Translator (85) • Guaranteed Delivery (122)
- 8. What is Mule • Open Source Project • MuleSoft – Mule Forge – Mule Enterprise – Mule MQ – Tcat Server • 2.x - Legacy Applications • 3.1.1 - Current Community Release • 3.2.0 - Latest Developer Build
- 9. Transports • Carry Messages between Services • Connector – Configuration – Threading – Retry • Endpoint – Connects Services – Transform Messages – Transaction Boundary
- 10. Endpoint Examples <file:inbound-endpoint path="/esb/in" comparator="org.mule.transport.file.comparator.Older FirstComparator" reverseOrder="true” /> <jetty:endpoint name="server" host="localhost" port="60203" path="services/Lookup" /> <imaps:endpoint name=”mail" host="localhost" password=”hunter2" port="123" user=”adk"/> <quartz:endpoint name=”batch" repeatCount="10" repeatInterval=”60000" jobName="job"/> <jms:inbound-endpoint queue="test.queue"/>
- 11. VM • Communication within VM • Synchronous or Asynchronous • Transactional <vm:connector name="async" queueEvents="true” /> <vm:inbound-endpoint path="in" connector-ref="async"/>
- 12. JMS • Queues • Topics • Request-Response <jms:connector name=”jms" specification="1.1" connectionFactory-ref=”qpid" username=”adk" password=”hunter2” /> <jms:outbound-endpoint queue=”audit” /> <jms:inbound-endpoint topic=”uk.*.gbp” />
