Make sure you didn't miss anything with this list of the Best of the Week in the Enterprise Integration Zone (July 18 to July 25). Here they are, in order of popularity:

1. Designing a Data Architecture to Support both Fast and Big Data

In post one of this series, we introduced the ideas that a Corporate Data Architecture was taking shape and that working with Fast Data is different from working with Big Data. In the second post we looked at examples of Fast Data and what is required of applications that interact with Fast Data.

2. The Real World Cup Winner: APIs

What actually went behind the scenes of this whole experience was an API infrastructure that allowed media entities to expose their digital assets and stream live media over end user devices. There were countless mobile apps that were consuming APIs and even more digital assets behind those APIs.

3. Building GlassFish from Source

This article will look at building Glassfish 4.0.1 from source and configuring NetBeans 8.0 to then use, modify, and debug it. While GlassFish can be downloaded ready for use, even coming bundled with NetBeans, there will be some among us who need (or just want) to build it from scratch.

4. JBoss Fuse DevOps Demo — Step by Step

I recently did a step-by-step demo on using Fabric8 or JBoss Fuse with an emphasis on DevOps. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Fabric8, check out the overview I put together a few weeks ago and check out the community docs as they freakin rock!

5. Camel on JBoss EAP with Custom Modules

Apache Camel is an awesome, open-source, integration library that can be used as the backbone of an ESB, or in stand alone applications to do routing, transformation, or mediation of systems (read: integrating multiple systems).
