What an exciting episode of OpenObservability Talks it was! On May 27, I hosted Kyle Davis, Senior Developer Advocate for OpenSearch at AWS, for a chat about the OpenSearch project, where it stands and where it’s heading.

Sometimes, as these 4 incidents highlight, major failure results from a mere typo or configuration oversight.

Nowadays APIs are the de facto method of communication between services. With all the connections points, setting up environments to efficiently build and test can be difficult. Also, in lower environments, 3rd party APIs can be unreliable, incorrect or non-existent.

Consider an E-Commerce Application with millions of users, built with various microservices. Since these microservices are decoupled, highly scalable, the communication and data sharing should be more reliable and seamless for business continuity. Here comes the Enterprise Service Bus technology. An enterprise service bus implements a communication system between mutually interacting software applications in a service-oriented architecture (SOA).
