Middleware & integration

Boomi

A cloud integration platform known for quick, low-code connections.

  • Integration platform (iPaaS)
  • Typical project: 4–10 weeks
  • Boomi (formerly Dell Boomi)

Overview

Boomi builds integrations on a drag-and-drop canvas with a large library of prebuilt connectors. A small runtime called an Atom can sit in the cloud or behind your firewall to reach on-premises systems.

It is popular with mid-size companies and teams that want results without a big integration department. The platform also covers API management, master data and workflow.

Best for

  • Connecting popular SaaS apps quickly
  • Teams with few integration specialists
  • Hybrid setups with a few on-premises systems

Think twice if…

  • You need very high-volume, low-latency event streaming; look at Kafka
  • Your logic is complex enough to outgrow a visual canvas

Typical projects

  2. Migration from legacy middleware3–7 months
