Middleware integration
What is middleware integration?
Middleware integration is an integration approach where middleware acts as an intermediary layer connecting applications, systems, and services. The goal is to enable structured, scalable, and reliable communication across heterogeneous IT environments.
In middleware integration, communication is routed through an integration layer rather than direct point-to-point connections. The middleware handles messaging, protocol conversion, data transformation, security, and error handling, reducing tight coupling between systems.
