Integration Patterns.

Design integration architectures for multi-domain support.

INTEGRATION ARCHITECTURE

Multi-domain integration requires shared components (efficiency) and domain-specific components (customization). Design clear boundaries between them.

Shared services: authentication gateway, logging infrastructure, monitoring. Domain-specific: business logic, data stores, compliance controls.

API design should be domain-agnostic where possible, with domain-specific extensions where needed. This enables shared SDKs and documentation.

SHARED GATEWAY

Common API gateway with domain routing. Unified authentication, rate limiting, and logging.

DOMAIN ROUTING

Route requests to domain-specific backends based on context. Isolation with shared infrastructure.

SHARED OBSERVABILITY

Common monitoring and logging infrastructure. Domain-specific dashboards and alerts.

DOMAIN ISOLATION

Separate data stores and processing for domain-specific requirements. Clear compliance boundaries.
