Orchestration
The orchestration of integrated services is handled by the orchestration layer. This layer provides us with a number of tools and features, as we will show in our tutorials and in documentation. In summary, the orchestration layer controls and manages the processes between the integrated services.
Messaging in Orchesty
The orchestration layer in Orchesty creates message queues between nodes of process topologies using RabbitMq. It adds a number of high level functions and business diagnostics. This allows you to flexibly build process topologies that reflect your business needs.
Process modelling
The processes are modeled using the graphical editor in Admin. You can create the actions of individual process nodes yourself using the SDK, or you can use the ready-made collection of applications and connectors in the Orchesty Store.
High level features
The orchestration layer handles a number of situations for us that we would otherwise have to handle to keep processes running smoothly. It provides the ability to configure the number and frequency of repeated calls to an unavailable service and to set the behavior according to status codes.
Topologies can be configured for performance or message order compliance. We can write custom filters and message routing. We can fix the captured non-valid messages in trash and send them back to the process.
Rate limiting
A very important tool, especially for cloud service integrations, is limiter. Thanks to it we can configure rate limiting of outgoing messages so that we don't exceed the allowed number of calls to the remote service. Orchesty can monitor the call limits of a specific API across all connectors and topologies.
Integrations in a multitenant environment
The limiter can even define groups that allow you to distinguish individual user accounts of the called service in each connector and thus monitor the rate limiting of an unlimited number of users using the same process topology. Such a feature is very useful when building integrations in a multitenant environment.
Orchesty has an extension Applinth for multitenant integrations. It enables advanced management capabilities as well as building your own integration marketplace for SaaS customers.
