Integration Pattern

Integration patterns document proven approaches—request-reply APIs, event publication, saga orchestration, ETL—with context, constraints, and monitoring expectations. Standard patterns reduce bespoke fragile interfaces and accelerate reviews. Patterns include anti-patterns to avoid known failure modes.

In Practice

Larkinized LLC maintains patterns in the repository linked to standards and reference architectures. Solution architects select patterns during design rather than inventing ad hoc connectivity. Pattern usage metrics reveal governance adoption and training needs.

Example

An approved event-carried state transfer pattern replaces nightly batch replication between inventory and ecommerce systems.
