Integration Architecture Review
Know exactly where your integration estate stands.
An integration layer accumulates decisions for years — some deliberate, many accidental. The review makes the current state explicit and turns it into a ranked list of actions.
What we examine
- Route design — are the enterprise integration patterns applied where they belong, or reinvented ad hoc? Are routes structured so your team can find, test, and change them?
- Error handling — dead letter channels, redelivery policies, retryable-versus-poison classification, and what actually happens to a failed message at 2 a.m.
- Idempotency and delivery semantics — where duplicates can arise, which routes are guarded, and which side effects are exposed.
- Observability — logging, metrics, correlation ids, DLQ alerting; whether an on-call engineer can answer "which customer did this affect?"
- Upgrade posture — Camel, Java, and Spring Boot versions against current support windows, and the realistic path to Camel 4.
- For ESB estates — the same lenses applied to your commercial platform, plus a migration-readiness read: inventory completeness, hidden transformation logic, and consumer mapping.
How it runs
We work from your code, configuration, and dashboards, and from conversations with the engineers who run the estate. Reviews are scoped in the initial conversation to match the size of the estate; you staff it with access and a few hours of interviews, not a project team.
What you get
A written findings report, prioritized by risk and effort: what is solid, what will bite, what to fix first, and what to leave alone. Each finding names the affected routes and the concrete remediation. The report is designed to stand on its own — many clients execute it with their own team, and some ask us to stay on and implement.
