What Is a Digital Integration Hub?
A Digital Integration Hub (DIH) is an architecture that aggregates data sources from multiple back-end systems of record into a low-latency, high-performance data store. It supports access to data via an application programming interface (API) services layer. The data store is synchronized with the back-end sources using a combination of event-based, request-based, and batch integration patterns.
What Is a Digital Integration Hub?
A Digital Integration Hub (DIH) is an architecture that aggregates data sources from multiple back-end systems of record into a low-latency, high-performance data store. It supports access to data via an application programming interface (API) services layer. The data store is synchronized with the back-end sources using a combination of event-based, request-based, and batch integration patterns.
A DIH enables the implementation of large-scale, high-throughput, and low-latency front-end API services by:
- Preventing the back-end systems from being overwhelmed with API services-generated workloads
- Avoiding complex integrations to support the API services implementation
- Decoupling the back-end data sources from the front-end API services.
By extending their API platform with a digital integration hub, organizations can add value by enabling analytics and data integration.
What Is an SAP Digital Integration Hub?
SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) can be used as a DIH, explains SAP’s Sven Huberti. The SAP BTP provides tools and frameworks to build or configure multi-experience applications, such as Business Application Studio, SAPUI5, mobile software development kits, and conversational AI.
The front-end API services should be fully managed from a security, performance, and analytical perspective, usually using an API gateway. But the API services may need to be modeled first if you want to implement a new API. This can be done via the SAP BTP API management service, which enables you to:
- Model APIs first — define a contract between the API consumer and the API implementation based on open standards like OpenAPI or OData.
- Secure APIs — mediate internet-oriented security concepts with on-premise security concepts and protect back-end systems from unforeseeable traffic.
- Increase performance of APIs — boost responsiveness through concepts like caching and purpose-oriented refactoring.
- Steer your API platform — monitor your digital strategy so you can define project priorities based on API adoption.
