Getting The Best Performance From Apps Built With Integration Platforms

Transcription

1 Integration Knowledge Kit Executive Briefing August 27, 2013 Getting The Best Performance From Apps Built With Integration Platforms Appvance implemented a multi-step business workflow on Oracle, IBM, TIBCO, SoftwareAG WebMethods, and Redhat JBoss SOA platforms to surface developer productivity and application performance differences. The results are ideal lessons and patterns for enterprise architects, development managers, and business managers who depend on excellent always-on App performance. Appvance presents a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Model and Developer's Journal of lessons learned and metrics to compare costs, and load and performance results. Explore why platform choices count covering the planning, expertise, and knowledge required to quickly and flexibly build and deploy highly scalable apps. Use the Appvance methodology and knowledge to evaluate the results in your own environment. Appvance packaged the results of the study, the open-sourced code and materials to run the tests, for your free download at Register Now - It's free!

5 Products and Services Appvance Provides Appvance Enterprise Enterprise Software Platform: Cloud and Datacenter World Class Functional and Performance Testing for the Enterprise Services App Performance Certification Migration Certification During Integration Runtime Upgrades White Hat Security Performance Testing and Validation Comparison Analysis of Platforms and Apps

6 Next Lets Talk About... Integration Knowledge Kit Objectives, Methodology, Lesson and Patterns, Results

7 Lessons and Patterns By Integration Platform TIBCO BusinessWorks with ActiveMatrix 5.11 After Installation issues, the whole platform offers familiar and powerful BPM integration for top-down development IBM Process Server - WPS (a superset of WAS) with WID 7.5 Overall Good Experience (Install, Docs, Features) just bigger than it needs to be and sometimes missing fit-and-finish like getting OOM exceptions SoftwareAG WebMethods 8,9 Good for Wholly Contained Workflows Oracle BPM Server 11g Big and Lumbering and Difficult To Configure Consistently Redhat JBoss SOA Platform 5.3.1, jbpm 5 Integration The do-it-yourself platform, heavy on bottoms-up coding, multiple stacks

8 Developer Productivity TCO Analysis ActiveMatrix + BusinessWorks proven to require less time and costs in side-by-side implementation 35% less time/costs vs JBoss 20% less time/costs vs. Oracle 14% less time/costs vs. WebMethods 10% less time/costs vs. IBM Greatest productivity gains: $8,000 $6,000 $4,000 $5,100 $5,646 $5,914 $6,366 $7,893 Service Construction $2,000 Service Orchestration Deployment Costs $0 TIBCO IBM SoftwareAG Oracle JBoss

9 Methodology Define A Manufacturing Use Case Implement The Use Case Make Changes To The Implementation Add HTTPS/SSL Security Change Message Schema Change To Asynchronous Delivery Run a Functional and Performance Test Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Model Implemented using 2 engineering teams. Team A - TIBCO, Oracle, JBoss Team B - IBM, SoftwareAG

11 TIBCO Executive Summary Big List Of Different Products To Install, In The Correct Order Composites Instead Of Process Steep Learning Curve To Know The TIBCO Family Of Products Business Studio Feels At Home TIBCO Tools Prefer Top-Down Development Working With TIBCO EMS Programmatically No Problems Designer, Fast To Make First Service Connection Creating Queues With The EMS Administration Console Easy Deployment Easy And Rapid

12 IBM Executive Summary Good Separation of Business and Transport Logic SOAP, JMS, Human Tasks Test Client for Integration - Click To Build Shows Process Operations Visually Easier Than External Test Using soapui WebSphere Integration Designer on Local Dev Machine Publish To Server or Everything Runs On Dev Machine Designer Mapping for Schema (Internal and OAGIS BODs) Design Deploy to Process Server gives cache problem Many OOM and Class Not Found Issues Documents Excellent, Tutorials and TODOs

13 SoftwareAG WebMethods Executive Summary Good for Wholly Contained Workflows Separation of business logic from models very strong (Integration + Service Def) Business Process to Document Management Apps Might Be Tricky Not JEE For Integration, Set-up can be tricky Deploying Portlets to CMS Needs Better Documentation No Native Support for Schema Versioning Code level changes to check version Designer Slower, Integration Faster Good Docs Services Have To Be Published

14 Oracle BPM Server 11g JDeveloper ( ) Not Compatible SOA/BPM Extensions Not Sure What Tool To Use To Create Services JMS Completion Required Research and Coding No Apparent Way To Version The Schema Dev environment is HUGE, Fails or Out Of Memory (5+ hours) Oracle BPM Project Stopped Working Frequently SOA Server Takes 5 minutes To Starts (including error/warnings) JDeveloper Still Unstable - Why Not NetBeans? Oracle SSL Requires Lots of Steps

15 Redhat JBoss SOA-Platform Summary Clumsy Tools For Devs, Difficult To Tweak To Make It Work Many QuickStart Docs, Most Broke To Meet Our Needs, Learn By Reading Code Fighting To Create Flows, XML Level Options Our Finished Flow Hand Made, No Help From JBPM, ESB ESB Oriented To Integration, Lacks WADL/REST Installation Not Point And Click, Old Versions, Some In Alpha Easy To Create A New Workflow In An ESB Project, BOD Schema Top-Down

16 Redhat JBoss SOA-Platform Summary JBPM Alone Will Not Deliver, Good For Human And Biz Workflows, Not Integration ESB Exposed Web Services Do Not Support JMS Transport, At Least Conceptually Calling Async Services, Completion Missing Adding SSL Difficult, Change JMS Not Possible, No REST No Hot Deploy Creation Queues, IDE Redeploys With Errors Redhat Recommends Building SOA Infrastructure On JBoss ESB, Custom Services On Fuse, Production-ready Services On SOA-Platform

17 Developer Productivity TCO Model Summary TCO Summary TIBCO IBM SoftwareAG Oracle JBoss System Setup $788 $762 $828 $1,253 $788 Design/Review $418 $814 $1,023 $418 $839 Learning $694 $286 $162 $596 $681 Support $103 $478 $614 $103 $103 Service Construction - Normal Serv $422 $426 $305 $469 $469 Service Construction - Async Serv $511 $793 $1,027 $1,355 $1,074 Service Orchestration $741 $694 $422 $511 $1,777 Deployment $307 $401 $354 $448 $483 Change - Add Security $422 $286 $520 $328 $1,125 Change - Transport to JMS $418 $426 $473 $469 $230 Change - Complex XSD $277 $281 $188 $418 $324 $5,100 $5,646 $5,914 $6,366 $7,893 TIBCO vs Oracle 20% TIBCO vs JBoss 35%
