Solace as an On-Premises
Alternative to Boomi Atom Queue

Many Boomi integration teams are looking for an alternative to Atom Queue — a modern on-premises messaging layer that can bridge their existing Boomi integrations with future event-driven capabilities.

Solace provides exactly that: a proven, enterprise-grade event broker that’s easy to deploy, operate, and scale—whether in your data center, at the edge, or across hybrid architectures.

Why Solace for Former Atom Queue Users

When Atom Queue is no longer sold, the need it served still needs to be met. Solace offers a direct, future-proof path forward—empowering your on-premises integrations today while positioning your team for Boomi’s event-driven future.

• On-premises first-class — Solace was designed to run anywhere, including your datacenter or edge sites. You can deploy it as a Docker container or Kubernetes-managed service with minimal setup, no external dependencies, and full control of your environment.
• Native Boomi integration — Solace integrates natively with Boomi—drag and drop from the Shapes pallete directly on to the canvas.
• Seamless growth path — Solace powers Boomi Event Streams Enterprise (BESE). Choosing Solace for on-premises messaging today gives you a future-ready foundation for BESE with no need to retool, rewrite, or retrain.
• Purpose-built event broker — Solace isn’t general-purpose middleware—it’s an event broker engineered for high throughput, low latency, and reliability at scale, with built-in HA, DR, persistence, and replay.

Two Easy On-Prem Deployment Options

Whether you’re spinning up a quick test environment or managing production-grade messaging at scale, Solace gives you flexible on-premises deployment paths that fit your environment and operational style.

Docker: Fastest Path to Value

Get started in minutes with a single command. A Docker Compose file automatically fetches the latest Solace Event Broker broker image and launches a fully functional broker on your server.

Perfect for:

• Quick POCs and developer testing
• Branch sites or local application hubs
• Simple production environments

Kubernetes: Scalable and Cloud-Operated

For larger or more dynamic environments, deploy Solace using the Solace Agent within your Kubernetes cluster. The agent provisions and manages Solace Event Broker pods automatically, while lifecycle management (upgrades, scaling, policies) is orchestrated from Solace Cloud. Your data always stays on-prem, but you gain the benefits of centralized cloud control.

Ideal for:

• Enterprise data centers and hybrid environments
• Automated provisioning and scaling
• Centralized observability and governance

Immediate Fit for Core Atom Queue Use Cases

Solace naturally fits the same integration and workflow scenarios Atom Queue supports, and extends them with richer protocol support and stronger reliability.

Key use cases:

• On-prem queuing and event streaming for application integration
• Decoupled microservices communication
• Reliable asynchronous workflows

With native support for open standards like AMQP, JMS, MQTT, and REST, Solace helps you migrate incrementally—connecting Boomi, custom apps, and other systems without vendor lock-in.

Future-Proof: The BESE Advantage

Boomi Event Streams Enterprise (BESE) is powered by Solace technology. That means every hour you invest in learning Solace now directly accelerates your readiness for BESE.

Shared foundation:

• Same underlying tech — Solace is the eventing fabric behind BESE.
• Skill transfer — Concepts, tools, and patterns map directly.
• Scale up, don’t re-platform — Expanding to multi-site routing or hybrid operations is an operational evolution, not a rebuild.

Operational Benefits Your Team Will Appreciate

Beyond its technical depth, Solace delivers day-to-day advantages that your operations and development teams will immediately notice.

• Simplicity — Lightweight deployment and management via Docker, CLI, or Solace Cloud.
• Reliability — HA clustering, guaranteed delivery, backpressure handling, and replay.
• Performance — Consistently low latency and high throughput for both queue and pub/sub patterns.
• Observability — Metrics, traces, and management dashboards available via Solace Cloud or REST APIs.
• Security — TLS encryption, fine-grained access control, and full data locality for on-prem compliance.

That operational maturity means faster rollouts, fewer outages, and a platform your team can trust in production from day one.

Migration Made Practical – Get Started Now!

Transitioning from Atom Queue doesn’t require a full system overhaul. Start small with a Docker-based broker, bridge your Boomi integrations via open protocols, and migrate flows incrementally.

Solace provides tooling and documentation to help you safely and predictably validate and phase in your cutovers. You can be up and running in minutes, exploring its management interface, and connecting Boomi in your existing environment.
