Enterprise Integration Patterns is a book by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf and describes 65 patterns for the use of enterprise application integration and message-oriented middleware in the form of a pattern language.
The pattern language presented in the book consists of 65 patterns structured into 9 categories, which largely follow the flow of a message from one system to the next through channels, routing, and transformations. The book includes an icon-based pattern language, sometimes nicknamed "GregorGrams" after one of the authors. Excerpts from the book (short pattern descriptions) are available on the supporting website (see External Links).
The book distinguishes four top-level alternatives for integration:
The following integration types are introduced:
The pattern language continues to be relevant as of today, for instance in cloud application development and integration, and in the internet of things. In 2015, the two book authors reunited - for the first time first time since the publication of the book - for a retrospective and interview in IEEE Software
Enterprise Integration Patterns are implemented in many open source ESBs, including Talend, Spring Integration, WSO2 ESB, Apache Camel, Red Hat JBoss Fuse, Mule ESB or Guaraná DSL.
