The document discusses trends in software development for the future, including microservices, APIs, cloud computing, and low-code development. It also summarizes different content management systems that support RESTful APIs. Traditional integration approaches like file-based and API integration are being replaced by newer approaches like microservices and API management. Low-code platforms can help with digital transformation and rapid application development.

1. Future of software development
Ehsan Hakimi (ECM consultant) Oct 2017
REST, Microservices, loosely coupled applications, Low Code Development

2. Future of IT job in 2020
The research that I have done on Sep 2017 to find top trend in IT and future of software development
 Cloud (AWS, Azure)
 IoT
 Big data (Hadoop , Spark) and data mining
 BI (IBM Watson, OpenText Analytics, MS PowerBI, QlickView, Tibco)
 Machine learning (ML & AI)
 Container platform (Docker)
 No-SQL Database (Redis, Hbase, MongoDB, DynamoDB, CosmosDB)
 Programming (Scala , Python)
 Front End development frameworks (AngularJS, React)

3. Traditional Integration approach
 File base (Xml)
 Data layer integration (DB)
 API

4. New Integration solutions
 Web services (SOAP) 2003
 ESB (Enterprise service bus)2004
 REST (Representational state transfer) 2007
 SOA (Service-oriented architecture) 2008
 Microservices 2013
 OpenAPI and API Management 2015

5. RESTful API Architecture
 lighter, faster, simpler
 Write once, reuse many times (use different front end technology for devices)

6. Which ECM provide RESTful API: Almost all
 Alfresco
 Box v2 API
 IBM Filenet Process engine REST and Lotus Domino access service
 Kofax Lexmark
 M-File
 SharePoint REST API and Office 365 Graph API
 OpenText Content Server RESTful API AppWorks App and Documentum REST
Service
 Hyland OnBase (just API and SOAP web service)
 HPE TRIM (doesn’t support) but HP provide iLO for server management
 Upland (doesn’t support)

7. SharePoint REST API URI structure

8. Custom ECM solution
for a property management firm
Using ECM as a data repository

9. Microservices vs. 3-Layer MVC application

10. Microservices Architecture
 is a variant of the service-oriented architecture (SOA) architectural style
 It structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services. It enables the
continuous delivery/deployment of large, complex applications.
 Change from one way for integration between
two application to become main architecture
of developing any new application

11. Real example of Microservices in AWS

12. API Management
 How to make money from Microservices
 Pay per API call

13. Enterprise Digital transformation
(Digitalize our workplace in 2020)
 rapid App development (RAD)
 BPMS
 eForms
 Mobile
 Cloud

14. Low code development
 Appian
 OutSystem (mobile themes)
