Why They Picked Solace JDE had started to increase the number of logistics service providers linked via Boomi and was seeing a steady rise in transaction rates. To ensure responsiveness and stability as they asked more and more of it, and make sure they could easily expand its role over time, they chose to augment their Boomi iPaaS with PubSub+, a platform which has proven its ability to distribute massive amounts of real-time data in the retail, financial services and telecom industries. How They Benefited PubSub+ Event Portal helped JDE understand how their applications were connected, and what information was flowing where, so they could optimize relationships between systems. PubSub+ Event Broker has eliminated delays associated with propagating events (such as delivery creations and shipping confirmations) by replacing periodic polling and batch updates with immediate real-time delivery when something changes. By handling the real-time delivery of information, PubSub+ has freed their Boomi iPaaS to focus on processing and transforming messages so it can handle way more transactions than before, with fewer resources. For example, they can now run twice as many Boomi workers on the same infrastructure, and CPU utilization – which used to vary greatly and spike to 100% -- is now stable at around 20%. The integration of PubSub+ and Boomi also ensures that documents are delivered in near-real-time even during bursts and peaks, making the system so fast, reliable and scalable that even "Black Friday" – which used to require all hands-on deck – is no longer cause for concern.
