An enterprise service bus (ESB) is a software architecture    that integrates applications and services to deliver a single, simple, consistent and unified interface to end-users by providing fundamental services for more complex architectures. ESB integrates applications, coordinates resources and manipulates information by putting a communication bus between these applications and provides the necessary setup to implement translation, routing and other integration facilities. ESB segregates networks or systems from one another, allowing them to connect without the knowledge or dependency of other systems on the bus. ESB architecture distributes information across enterprises easily and quickly and ensures the smooth delivery of information even though some of the networks or systems are offline from time to time, by eliminating the need to rewrite the application. The growth of cloud computing services enables small businesses and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to use cloud-based ESBs at lower cost by making the infrastructure available at a reasonable price. ESB is considered the backbone of IT infrastructure as it reduces the time to market for new initiatives and increases organizational agility.

Microservices architecture (MSA) is a method of developing software systems in which large monolithic applications are broken down into smaller manageable independent services which focuses on performing one task efficiently and communicate via language agnostic protocols. Instead of focusing all teams on one large application, smaller independent services are managed by different smaller teams which enables superior scalable systems, improved productivity, and faster development cycles. By doing so, the responsibility of the codes running under that particular individual service is given to one particular development group. The philosophy behind microservices architecture is to do one thing and do it well. Some of the key benefits of microservices architecture are, it supports consumer choice, transparency and enablement, it extends the reach of business, and most importantly it improves business' time to market by providing technology agility. With the help of microservices architecture, important security patches can be distributed faster as it uses simpler code structures compared to monolithic applications. Microservices architecture is a digital business asset especially for service providers as it keep the services more competitive, relevant, in demand and responsive to change. Microservices architecture also provides an opportunity to enhance service offerings for different consumer audiences by supplementing or adding value to an existing service.

Mobile app engagement is one of the crucial steps in the mobile app lifecycle. Mobile app engagement is a complete process of actively building, nurturing, and managing relationships with customers, ultimately driving inactive customers to re-engage with the app and resume higher levels of engagement. Companies use mobile engagement to offer positive brand experiences, to support their business goals, expand the customer base, and to build valuable long-term relationships with customers. Companies engage users through continuous messaging on mobile devices, smartphones, tablets, smart watches and other wearables, via push notifications, in-app messaging, alerts, short headlines etc. Mobile in-app engagement is usually measured through the number of downloads/installations, number of active users, time spent on the app, frequency of use and exit rate.
