Enterprise Integration Patterns
A foundational to advanced learning path for SAP architects covering enterprise integration patterns across ECC, S/4HANA (on-premise, private and public cloud) and BTP hybrid landscapes. Covers pattern selection, synchronous vs asynchronous design, event-driven architecture, API management, clean core integration strategy, NFRs, security, governance and migration/rollback considerations for integration decisions.
Overview
A foundational to advanced learning path for SAP architects covering enterprise integration patterns across ECC, S/4HANA (on-premise, private and public cloud) and BTP hybrid landscapes. Covers pattern selection, synchronous vs asynchronous design, event-driven architecture, API management, clean core integration strategy, NFRs, security, governance and migration/rollback considerations for integration decisions.
Lessons in this topic
- Governance, Cost Control, and Roadmap Evolution for Enterprise Integration LandscapesLearn how to govern a growing enterprise integration landscape, control recurring integration cost drivers, and plan a multi-year roadmap that keeps pace with S/4HANA and BTP evolution without accumulating technical or contractual debt.
- Selecting Integration Patterns: Synchronous, Asynchronous and Hybrid Trade-offsExplains how to evaluate and select between synchronous, asynchronous and hybrid integration patterns based on concrete non-functional requirements and SAP deployment constraints.
- Synchronous vs Asynchronous Integration: Choosing the Right Communication StyleExplains when to use synchronous request-response versus asynchronous message-based integration between SAP and non-SAP systems, and the architectural consequences of each choice.
- Event-Driven Architecture: Choreography, Orchestration, and Idempotency in Hybrid SAP LandscapesAnalyzes advanced event-driven integration design choices — choreography versus orchestration — along with idempotency, ordering, and governance concerns when SAP and BTP-based event producers and consumers interact.
- Foundations of Enterprise Integration Patterns in SAP LandscapesIntroduces the core integration pattern categories relevant to SAP landscapes and why choosing the right pattern early prevents costly rework later.
