Mastering Enterprise Integration Patterns: The Scatter-Gather Pattern Explained

Master the Scatter-Gather pattern, an essential Enterprise Integration pattern for scalable and efficient systems

In distributed systems and enterprise integration, there is often a need to send a request to multiple recipients, collect their responses, and process them as a single unit. The Scatter-Gather pattern, part of the Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) collection, provides a structured approach to solving this problem. This article explores the Scatter-Gather pattern in depth, its relationship with the Composed Message Processor (CMP) pattern, and its real-world applications.

Kafka and Enterprise Integration Patterns: A Match Made in Event-Driven Heaven

Discover how Kafka redefines integration patterns for unmatched scalability and reliability

The Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) book by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf has long been the go-to reference for architects designing robust and scalable integration solutions. Its timeless patterns have shaped how systems communicate in distributed environments, offering a shared vocabulary for designing messaging systems. Among modern tools, Kafka stands out as a messaging platform that not only implements many of these patterns but also adds its unique twist to the game.
