Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)

An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a software architecture model that facilitates communication between different applications within an organization. Think of it as a central messaging system that allows various software programs to connect, share data, and work together more efficiently, without needing to be directly linked to one another. This reduces complexity, improves flexibility, and enables easier integration of new applications. Essentially, the ESB acts like a conductor in an orchestra, ensuring that all parts of the IT environment harmonize and work together smoothly.
