Enterprise application integration is an integration framework composed of a collection of technologies and services which form a middleware or “middleware framework” to enable integration of systems and applications across an enterprise.

Enterprise application integration is the process of disconnecting applications within a single organization alone in order to simplify and automate business processes to the greatest extent possible, while at the same time avoiding having to make sweeping changes to the existing applications or data structures.

A service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a style of software design where services are provided to the other components by application components, through a communication protocol over a network. The basic principles of service-oriented architecture are independent of vendors, products and technologies.

Select from the following options which ones are properties of a service according to one of many definitions of SOA:

An ESB is basically the integration of the new and the old, providing a central place for the services, applications, and IT resources in general that you want to connect.

Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) is a common integration pattern, usually involving movement of small data files between applications and databases, especially useful in loading data into data spreadsheet solutions.

A microservice architecture (vs. the legacy monolithic architecture) is an approach to developing a software application as a series of small services, each running autonomously and communicating with one another, for example through HTTP requests to their APIs.
