Systems that talk to each other through a pile of point-to-point workarounds.

What Integration & Messaging covers

Integration & Messaging is about how systems talk to each other reliably — event-driven architecture, message queues, and service-to-service communication — replacing brittle point-to-point workarounds. This page covers messaging and eventing; exposing and managing APIs now has its own dedicated domain.

How we deliver this on Microsoft Azure

The detail below is Azure-specific. As other platforms come online, this same page will show the equivalent approach for whichever platform you select.

Service Bus, Event Hubs, Event Grid, and API integration architected so systems communicate reliably instead of through fragile one-off connections.

Service Bus Event Hubs Event Grid API integration

Signals

This is likely relevant if…

!Integrations between systems are point-to-point and multiply with every new system added

!Message queues or event streams exist but nobody's monitoring their health

!A failed integration is usually discovered downstream, not at the source

!No consistent pattern for synchronous API calls versus asynchronous events

!Event Grid, Service Bus, and Event Hubs are used inconsistently with no clear rationale

!Scaling one integration means touching several others unexpectedly

How we work

New solution, or fix what you have

Tell us which situation you're in — the consultation is scoped differently depending on the answer.

Path A — Solution design

Nothing's in place yet

You're connecting new systems and want a proper integration architecture instead of more point-to-point links.

Messaging pattern selected — Service Bus, Event Hubs, or Event Grid — to fit each use case
API integration layer designed for reuse across systems
Monitoring built in from the start for message and event flows

Path B — Fix / enhance

Something exists but isn't working

Integrations already exist, but they're fragile, undocumented, or breaking under load.

Audit of current integration points and failure patterns
Consolidation of point-to-point links into a coherent messaging layer
Monitoring and alerting added to existing message flows

Scope

What's included in the Integration & Messaging consultation

Integration architecture review across current systems
Service Bus / Event Hubs / Event Grid usage assessment
API integration layer design or audit
Failure pattern analysis for existing integrations
Monitoring and alerting design for message flows
Scalability review for growing integration volume
Written report ranking fixes by risk and effort
30-minute walkthrough call to review findings
