Cloud Application Integration

You can create various third-party integrations using Connectors in CAI. In this section, we will explain how to use the Marketo v3 connector to connect to Marketo. We will also demonstrate how to create a service connector using API documentation provided through Swagger and how to build a CAI process that integrates these service connections into a unified workflow, using the Marketo example.

In this section, we will guide you through creating a messaging service process. You will learn how to use an AMQP connection to read events and messages from a queue, create a process object to structure this information, and then write to another queue on the same broker.

Complex hand-coding tools are slowing down GenAI development. They require specialized skills, hinder scalability, and drive up costs. Maintaining these custom-built apps adds another layer of complexity. Informatica Cloud Application Integration (iPaaS) empowers businesses to break free from these limitations.  Our user-friendly, low-code/no-code GenAI app development capabilities eliminate the need for extensive coding, making GenAI development accessible to a wider range of users.

Key Benefits of iPaaS for Streamlined GenAI Development:

• Intuitive Drag-and-Drop Interface: Effortlessly build GenAI applications at scale, facilitating rapid prototyping and deployment.
  
• Seamless AI/ML Integration: Out-of-the-box large language model (LLM) connectors simplify integrating any AI or machine learning model.
• Enhanced Reusability: Modernize existing app/API integrations and seamlessly incorporate them into your GenAI workflows.
• Streamlined Workflow Orchestration: Easily orchestrate LLM calls and RAG pipelines based on user needs.
• Expanded Use Cases: iPaaS supports popular GenAI applications like prompt engineering, RAG, AI agents, and fine-tuning.

Process Designer empowers you to bridge the gap between applications and services, regardless of location.  It seamlessly connects with data integration tools, on-premise systems secured behind your firewall via APIs, and even cloud-based services – as long as they offer an API for interaction. 

For tailored integrations, you can create two types of service connectors: service connectors and data access service connectors.

Streamline database integration across your IT infrastructure with our robust JDBC connector. This solution utilizes the industry-standard JDBC Specification 3.0 Java API and Type 4 Database Protocol Driver, ensuring seamless connections to a wide range of popular database platforms, including IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL.

Salesforce is a cloud-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution for sales teams to manage contacts and sales activities. Salesforce provides a Streaming API that supports event streaming using push technology. With the Streaming API, you can subscribe to Salesforce platform events, PushTopic queries, and change events. Additionally, you can publish messages to Salesforce platform events in near real-time.

The Salesforce Connector enables secure interactions with Salesforce objects. It allows you to subscribe to custom Salesforce platform events, PushTopic queries, and change events, as well as publish messages to custom Salesforce platform events.

Informatica iPaaS's Email Connector empowers you to automate email notifications within your workflows.  This streamlines communication and fosters better customer experiences.

• Integrate: Easily integrate email functionalities into your existing processes.
  
• Automate: Set up automated email notifications for key events, like order updates.
• Deliver Securely: Leverage industry-standard security protocols (SMTP, TLS/SSL) for secure email transmission.

Amazon SQS provides a highly reliable distributed queueing solution for asynchronous communication between application components. Messages (text, JSON) up to 256 KB are securely stored within queues, guaranteeing delivery even during temporary system outages.

• Improved Agility: Decouple services for independent development and deployment cycles.
  
• Enhanced Scalability: Handle workload fluctuations without performance impact.
• Flexible & Integrated: Supports various formats and integrates with S3 (Extended Client Library for Java).

The RabbitMQ Connector simplifies application integration with RabbitMQ, a high-performance message broker. It leverages AMQP for secure message exchange. Use RabbitMQ Connector to configure a RabbitMQ connection, a RabbitMQ producer, and a RabbitMQ consumer. You can also listen for, read and write messages on a particular queue. 

A developer often tests their process design iteratively using various inputs to ensure its accuracy. In this section, we'll explore how a developer can perform these tests without leaving CAI. You will learn how to define inputs for a CAI process, persist them, and use them as Test/Test Suite to conduct unit testing.
