By now, you may have noticed the trend in IT to reduce the size of existing things (projects, teams, releases, hardware, services). It seems like yesterday when we were talking about the need to break the monolith into microservices and we are already talking about encapsulating your logic into functions.
Given the simplicity and economic appeal of FaaS (Function as a Service) offerings, it seems like a natural move to see the world of integration begin to shift toward a new serverless model and start to enjoy its benefits like autoscaling, no infrastructure management and pay-per-use billing.
Kumologica is one of the early players in this space, with a very clear mission: bring the benefits of the traditional low-code integration platforms to the new world of FaaS.
Introducing Kumologica
Kumologica consists of two parts:
Kumologica designer: A low-code environment where developers can create API Integration flows by arranging and connecting visually (drag-and-drop) a number of pre-packaged nodes. It also allows developers to test and deploy API integration flows into the cloud directly without having to go to the terminal or cloud console for anything.
Kumologica runtime: A library which is responsible to run integration flows on top of your FaaS in a scalable, high performing and cost-efficient manner.
Benefits
In addition to all the benefits aforementioned of using FaaS, there are two main benefits you will enjoy when choosing Kumologica:
Cloud portability: You have one tool and one way to describe and run your integration flows, and thanks to the different cloud bindings, there is no headache anymore in porting those flows to other cloud providers. Reducing the risk of cloud vendor lock-in.
Quick development feedback-loop: Develop with zero or almost zero code, test your flows locally (without any Docker dependencies) and deploy into the cloud in a secure and quick manner, and all within your designer. No need to jump into the terminal to run other scripts, or go to web consoles to configure security roles / triggers etc. Kumologica Designer will take care of these tasks for you.
We consider Kumologica to be the one of the best ways to develop, test and deploy integration services in the new serverless world and it is completely free.
