Justice and Public Safety Sector Red Hat Integration POC repository

Introduction

This Proof of concept (POC) project explores implementing the following areas of integration using Red Hat Integration Tool Kit:

• Enterprise Integration

  • Comprehensive connectors
  • Microservices orchestration
  • Data Transformation
  • Low-code iPaaS
  • Kubernetes connectivity with Camel K

Documentation

• Red Hat Integration
• Red Hat GitOps
• Configuring Service Registry authentication and authorization with Red Hat Signle Sign-On

This POC project will use the following Red Hat Integration Tools to implement:

• Compute: Camel K
• Event Broker: Red Hat AMQ Streams (Kafka)
• Service and Schema Registry: Red Hat Service Registry (Apicur.io)

Considerations

• Apache Kafka Architecture - Delivery Guarantees
  • at most once - which can lead to messages being lost, but they cannot be redelivered or duplicated
  • at least once - ensures messages are never lost but may be duplicated
  • exactly once - guarantees each message processing (not delivery) happens once and only once
• Should You Put Several Event Types in the Same Kafka Topic?

• GitHub Repo: Camel K Example Kafka by Evan Zhang - This demonstrates how to use Service Registry to serialize and deserialize events in a given topic

Fun / Useful Demos

Kafkacat usage

oc run kafkacat -it --rm --restart=Never --image=edenhill/kafkacat:1.6.0 --command – /bin/sh

alias kafkacat='oc exec kafkacat -it -- kafkacat'

kafkacat -b cmn-kafka-kafka-bootstrap:9092 -t my-topic -C 

Note: Need to run this in a real Linux shell; e.g. a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) session, rather than a Git Bash (emulation) session

POC Scope

This POC will implement a simple set of court case management (CCM) services. Specifically, the POC will cover the following two services:

• Notification Service
• Lookup Service

POC System Context Diagram

Below is the system context diagram for the DEMS Integration POC where the following event-based solution is implemented using Red Hat Integration toolkit:

• Actors

  • JUSTIN System
  • DEMS User

• Events / Commands

  • Court Case Created
  • Get Court Case Details

• Domain Services

  • Notification Service
  • Lookup Service

• Event Topics

  • Court Cases
  • KPIs (no personal information)
  • Audits
