Massive amounts data can be moved as messages between services, applications and systems at any one time. If an application isn’t available or a service interruption occurs, messages and transactions may be lost or duplicated. This can cost businesses time and money. IBM has refined IBM MQ over the past 25 years. MQ allows you to hold a message in a queue until it is delivered. MQ moves data once, even file data, to avoid competitors delivering messages twice or not at the right time. MQ will never lose a message. IBM MQ can be run on your mainframe, in containers, in public or private clouds or in containers. IBM offers an IBM-managed cloud service (IBM MQ Cloud), hosted on Amazon Web Services or IBM Cloud, as well as a purpose-built Appliance (IBM MQ Appliance), to simplify deployment and maintenance.

Amazon Simple Notification Service is a fully managed messaging platform that allows for system-to–system and app-to–person (A2P), communication. It allows you to communicate between systems using publish/subscribe patterns (pub/sub), which allow messaging between decoupled microservice apps. You can also communicate directly with users via SMS, mobile push, and email. The system-to–system pub/sub functionality allows for topic-based, high-throughput push-based, many–to-many messaging. Your publisher systems can use Amazon SNS topics to fanout messages to large numbers of customer endpoints or subscriber systems, including Amazon SQS queues and AWS Lambda functions. You can send messages to large numbers of users using the A2P messaging functionality. This allows you to use either a pub/sub or direct-publish message using one API.

To build applications that respond in real-time to all your data sources, you can set up routing rules. EventBridge makes it easy for you to create event-driven apps. It handles event ingestion, delivery, authorization, security, and error handling. Your applications will become more interconnected by events. You need to spend more time finding and understanding the structure of events in order to write code that reacts to them.

Only Oracle SOA can move existing, on-premises applications and composite applications to cloud as-is. It also offers the ability for modern integrations to be created with Oracle Integration.

To optimize security, cost, regulatory requirements, and security, select integrations can be deployed on-premises and in the cloud. For modern connectivity, leverage your service-oriented style of automation expertise and shift development to Oracle Integration. Automating administrative operations like backup, restore, scaling, and high availability can reduce complexity and errors and increase agility.

Simple Message Notification allows you to send messages to email addresses, phone numbers, HTTP/HTTPS servers, and cloud services through notifications. This reduces system complexity. Three easy-to-use APIs allow you to create topics, subscribe, and publish messages efficiently. To ensure high availability, messages are saved in multiple data centers. The message that fails to deliver a message will be saved and sent again. Allows you to send messages to subscribers using multiple protocols with one messaging request. You can isolate data by topic. Unauthorized users can't access your message queues, which ensures service security. You can use messages to connect cloud services. This will allow you to achieve system decoupling and ensure reliability. Not all messages will be affected if one service goes down. Connects cloud services and automatically invokes them through messages.
