Tavros

The business of integration is rapidly changing. With many platforms becoming expensive to operate, emerging API managers (APIMs) are separating API management from implementation. As more of our customers move to APIMs, there is a vital need to address how integration implementation is handled.

WHAT PROBLEMS ARE BUSINESSES FACING?

With industry trends moving towards microservices, serverless solutions and service mesh, businesses are looking for better control over applications through containerization.

Based on several best in breed open source components, Tavros provides a robust stack that includes features for traditional ESB type routing via Camel, microservices deployment via Kubernetes, service mesh via Kuma, monitoring with Jaeger, and API Management via Kong.

This approach provides tremendous scalability and agility. A rich transformation component is based on Google’s Jsonnet that has evolved into a highly performant component called DataSonnet.

Since it leverages open source, the investment from a total cost of ownership perspective is minimal. In addition, MS³ has included archetypes and accelerators to improve time to value.

Integration platforms have become a prominent component for enterprises to manage complexities between on-premise, SaaS, custom applications, and the vast number of analytics technologies used today. However, the one size fits all approach of some vendors has become an obstacle to innovation and cost management, as well as vendor lock- in.

Tavros provides an open approach that addresses all of the same use cases as the major vendor platforms but in a more cost-effective and modern approach based on containerization, microservices, service mesh, and API Management.

MS³ enhanced tried and true technologies such as Spring Boot and Camel, which will be as part of the Apache Camel 3.7 release as DataSonnet 2.0, and then enhanced its value through modern containerization technologies. The open stack encompasses all critical aspects of integration and container management such as scalability, reliability, and observability. With a rich transformation engine, thorough monitoring and logging, robust security, and easy deployment, the platform is meant to minimize complexity while providing enterprise-level capabilities. In addition, MS³ has optimized several features in order to provide accelerated development, a smaller footprint, and improved runtime performance.
