Red Hat AMQ
Extend integration to the outer edges of your enterprise
Red Hat® AMQ—based on open source communities like Apache ActiveMQ and Apache Kafka—is a flexible messaging platform that delivers information reliably, enabling real-time integration. The AMQ streams component makes Apache Kafka "OpenShift native" through the use of powerful operators that simplify the deployment, configuration, management, and use of Apache Kafka on OpenShift.
Success Stories
Alpitour Group
In 2019, Alpitour Group launched a comprehensive internal technology transformation program to support its core business and sales systems in the area of tour operating. The Group wanted to move from a mainframe-dependent architecture to a more flexible infrastructure that would enable the business to adapt rapidly to changing needs and improve time to market. Alpitour wanted to build an open platform and integration layer to better enable rich and deep collaborations with partners on joint offerings, allowing it to take advantage of new opportunities in the evolving tourism ecosystem. Red Hat OpenShift has been implemented as the platform of reference for the project and is helping improve flexibility and time to market for Alpitour.
Central Bank of Brazil
Brazil’s economy, the largest in Latin America, is rapidly transitioning from cash-based to digital payments. To meet growing demand, the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB) created a new instant payment network, Pix. This innovative solution required a highly available, scalable IT infrastructure. With a new architecture based on Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, and technology from Red Hat Integration, BCB can cost-effectively support thousands of transactions per second while maintaining 24x7 service availability. This new service has also helped the bank promote competitive diversity in Brazil’s financial services market.
Helvetia
Swiss insurance company Helvetia faced availability and performance challenges while running its customer-facing applications on legacy, on-premise hardware. To gain the agility needed to stay competitive, the company expanded its Red Hat application environment to a new public cloud solution based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform running on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Helvetia’s OpenShift environment is enhanced by Red Hat AMQ, a messaging solution based on the Apache Kafka open source project that provides high-performance data streaming. With this new environment, Helvetia has achieved over 99.9% uptime for its services, reduced time to market from months to weeks, and built a path to reduce costs.
Open Source
OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka is a part of the Red Hat OpenShift ecosystem and provides a streamlined experience for sharing streaming data between instances no matter where they run in hybrid cloud environments.
Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed event streaming platform used by thousands of companies for high-performance data pipelines, streaming analytics, data integration, and mission-critical applications. The project aims to provide a unified, high-throughput, low-latency platform for handling real-time data feeds. Apache Kafka is a great option when using asynchronous, event-driven integration and is foundational to Red Hat's approach to agile integration.
Strimzi provides a way to run an Apache Kafka cluster on Kubernetes in various deployment configurations. For development, it’s easy to set up an instance in Minikube in a few minutes. For production you can tailor the instance to your needs, using features such as rack awareness to spread brokers across availability zones, and Kubernetes taints and tolerations to run Kafka on dedicated nodes. Strimzi is an open source project that provides container images and operators for running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift.
Debezium is an open source distributed platform for change data capture. Point it at databases, and applications can start responding to all of the inserts, updates, and deletes that other applications commit. Debezium is durable and fast, so your applications can respond quickly and never miss an event, even when things go wrong. Debezium connectors are based on the popular Apache Kafka Connect API and are suitable to be deployed along Red Hat AMQ Streams Kafka instances.
Apache Camel is an open source integration framework that empowers you to quickly and easily integrate various systems consuming or producing data. It is a rule-based routing and mediation engine that provides a Java object-based implementation of the Enterprise Integration Patterns using an application programming interface to configure routing and mediation rules. Apache Camel and Red Hat Fuse enable developers to create complex integrations in a simple and maintainable format.
Apicurio is an API and schema registry for microservices. You can use the Apicurio Registry to store and retrieve service artifacts such as OpenAPI specifications and AsyncAPI definitions, as well as schemas such as Apache Avro, JSON, and Google Protocol Buffers. The Red Hat Integration Service Registry is based on the open source Apicurio Registry.
