Cloud-native software plays a critical role in unlocking the full revenue potential of 5G & Digital applications, but it even goes beyond that. Being first to the cloud means being the first to realize the benefits of economies of scale, and the level of interoperability and efficiency that the cloud offers.
The cloud platforms capabilities are helping service providers accelerate their digital transformations and take advantage of Cloud native software, like BSS product portfolio. Infrastructure-as-a-Code, autoscaling, and managed cloud services – used in conjunction with new innovations such as AI/ML, serverless computing
One of the Digital Business platforms hosted in AWS is built on Open APIs and a cloud-native micro-services architecture.
Open APIs in combination with serverless integration technology enable you to rapidly integrate systems and deliver business outcomes in days. And you can achieve these outcomes while keeping operational costs low and providing almost infinite scaling.
The below example shows a typical integration scenario where account data needs to be replicated into legacy systems whenever a new customer is registered on the platform. In order to achieve this,
1- the BillingAccountCreated event from the digital business platform is registered in the Amazon API Gateway that triggers the start of an AWS Step Functions flow.
2- The process orchestrates a set of AWS Lambda functions that firstly retrieve additional data from the DBP through an API call, create the account in the legacy customer relationship management (CRM) backend system
3- Finally add the user to the legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP).
Through the use of AWS serverless technology, the implementation of the integration flow does not require to set up any complex application runtime infrastructure and enables the developer to quickly implement the necessary API calls using any of the supported programming languages. The AWS Step Functions flow maintains the state of the process and orchestrates the required steps.
The use of serverless technology greatly simplifies the implementation of typical integration scenarios and provides a quick and cost-efficient way to rapidly integrate APIs. In combination with Open APIs this provides a really efficient way to deliver a complete E2E solution within days allowing to meet the requirements of the business faster than ever before.
