WHAT IS SYSTEM INTEGRATION?
System Integration is the process of combining
different computing systems and software
applications to act as a coordinated whole.
IMPORTANCE
OF SYSTEM
01
It ensures that diverse computing systems and software applications work

INTEGRATION
harmoniously, leading to increased efficiency, reduced redundancy, and
enhanced overall performance.

02
Effective system integration leads to streamlined processes, minimized data
duplication, and the ability to scale operations smoothly.

03
Without proper integration, organizations may face issues such as data
inconsistencies, manual data entry errors, and difficulty in adapting to
changing business requirements.
WHAT IS SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE?
System Architecture is the high-level structure
and design of a computing system, including its
components and their interactions.

 SYSTEM INTEGRATION AND
ARCHITECTURE
System architecture influences how components
are designed and interact, which directly impacts
the success of system integration efforts.

API GATEWAY MIDDLEWARE

It is a component that manages, secures, and Middleware components facilitate
routes API requests. communication and interaction between
various parts of a system, including APIs.
AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION
Authentication verifies the identity of the
requester, while authorization determines
what actions they are allowed to perform.
SERVICE ORCHESTRATION
Service orchestration components are
responsible for managing the sequence and
flow of API calls to achieve a desired
outcome.
LOAD BALANCERS
Load balancers distribute incoming API
requests across multiple instances or
servers to ensure scalability and reliability.
MONITORING AND ANALYTICS
These components track the performance,
usage, and health of APIs.
VERSIONING AND DOCUMENTATION
Managing different versions of an API is
crucial to ensure backward compatibility
while introducing new features or changes.
SECURITY COMPONENTS
Security mechanisms such as encryption,
token management, and threat detection.
SCALABILITY AND REDUNDANCY
These aspects of system architecture
ensure that APIs can handle increased load
and remain available even in the face of
failures.
ERROR HANDLING AND LOGGING
APIs need robust error-handling mechanisms
to gracefully handle unexpected situations.
Logging is essential for tracking and
diagnosing issues, as well as auditing API
usage.
