Integration Architecture

Part of the CloudQix Glossary of Integration Design Terms

Definition 

Integration architecture is the structured design that defines how different applications, services, and data sources connect, communicate, and exchange information.

In-Depth Explanation 

Integration architecture establishes the foundation for system interoperability, data consistency, and scalability. It outlines the layers, components, and communication methods—such as APIs, message queues, and event-driven workflows—that enable applications to work together.
