Easily Build and Integrate Microservices with Red Hat Fuse and Openshift

Being able to create and easily re-define business rules is a competitive advantage in today's quickly-changing environment. Business rules are at the heart of every organization’s operations. They define the laws and regulations to which the organization is bound, they drive business process decisions, and they determine pricing of products and services.

Microservices modularize monoliths into small services with open and standard interfaces that can be individually implemented, deployed and scaled. Containers provide the environment where microservices operate (OS, runtime, libraries, configuration).

Join this webinar to see how Red Hat® JBoss® BRMS and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform:

- Help you quickly extract documented or implicit business rules and explicitly define them with a standard and centrally managed rules language.
- Let you package those explicitly defined rules into containers and deploy them as microservices.

Feeling bludgeoned by bullhorn messaging suggesting your monolithic behemoth should be put down (or sliced up) to make way for microservices? Without question, 'unicorn-style' microservices are the super-nova-hot flavor of the day, but what if teaching your tried and true monolith to be a nimble, fast-dancing elephant meant you could deploy every week versus every 6 to 9 months?

For most enterprises, weekly deployments (or something close) would fundamentally transform not only operations and business results, but also the inherent value of developers willing to step up to lead the dance lessons.

See beyond the hype to understand the deployment model your business case actually demands, and if weekly deployments courtesy of a dancing (or flying!) elephant fit the bill, love the one you're with as you lead the organization's journey to digital transformation!

Assessing performance of a general and flexible business process management (BPM) products and solutions is challenging. It's notoriously difficult to assess, measure, and accurately predict how a product or solution will scale under normal use and load. Each user's unique business requirements and specific implementation design must be taken into account.

Red Hat has partnered with Vizuri, an IT consulting firm, to provide you with a performance test tool for any BPM framework or process server. The BPM performance test tool can be used to model and assess many different scenarios simulating a set of reusable resources. The results will be a uniform performance evaluation that accounts for as much end-user process design and implementation variability as feasible.

Join this webcast to learn more about this tool through a case study on Red Hat® JBoss® BPM Suite.

We live in an application economy, and companies who don’t recognize themselves as software or technology-driven are doomed to fail. Core aspects of digital transformation are being enabled by the way applications are built (agile methods, event-driven) the way they are deployed (containers, microservices) and the way in which they are used (mobile, IoT). Red Hat’s portfolio addresses all aspects of the application lifecycle, and can help prepare you to use software as a cornerstone for competitive advantage.

Custom software development and business automation have historically provided 2 equal but distinct paths to bring high-quality products to market. Each has its own benefits and trade-offs. Business process management (BPM) and business rules management systems (BRMS) provide a lightweight, modular platform that can be tailored for your organizational structure and technical architecture.

Red Hat® Consulting offers a Business Automation Practice—a design model that combines the rigor and security of software development with the speed and accessibility of business automation technology. The result? Businesses can develop better products, more quickly and fully evolve with DevOps.

With the increased speed of business and the transitory nature of apps and services, agility is paramount. To meet this need, successful organizations have turned to DevOps philosophies and solutions based on microservices architectures (MSAs).

Application programming interfaces (APIs) are crucial in every MSA (Microservice Architecture) to link the various microservices. Solutions based on MSAs and DevOps are effective, but bring some challenges. While microservices allow flexible, agile deployments, they can be harder to manage and can create complex scenarios.

Watch and learn:
• How to establish effective continuous integration and delivery pipelines using Red Hat® OpenShift, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• How to get security, control, and visibility of the microservice APIs using the 3scale by Red Hat API management platform and the 3scale nginx-based API gateway running on Docker.

Traditionally, business process management (BPM) programs have focused on standardization and continuous improvement— but programs that require discovery, modeling, and analysis can result in long lead times. And businesses can no longer tolerate long implementations as they need to react quickly to changing customer expectations.

Red Hat® JBoss® BPM Suite can be integrated into a MSA (Microservice Architecture) to support frequent deployments, multiple concurrent versions, and flexible scaling; enabling IT to respond more quickly to the needs of the business.
