This post covers lightning talk content delivered at Cloud Camp Chicago on design patterns for connecting cloud services. The talk focuses on how established and emerging patterns can be applied when wiring together the SaaS and cloud applications an organization already runs.
Why patterns matter for cloud integration
Patterns are reusable designs that provide solutions to common problems. Rather than solving each connection problem from scratch, teams can lean on patterns that have already been proven across many cloud service connections — which is the central argument of the talk.
Hands-on with SaaS and cloud services since 2006
Delivered Innovation has worked with SaaS and cloud services since 2006, and that experience shapes the material presented. The patterns discussed come out of real project work involving connecting cloud services to each other and to the systems around them.
Connecting cloud services in practice
- Established design patterns for connecting cloud services to one another.
- Emerging patterns covering newer approaches to service interconnection.
- Reusable solutions drawn from hands-on SaaS and cloud delivery work since 2006.
