IBM App Connect also provides deployment flexibility by not only supporting the ESB pattern but also container native deployments by separating Integration Servers from the ESB pattern which are a lightweight process hosting the integration flows, these Integration Servers and flows can be deployed across containers managed by orchestration services such as RedHat OpenShift, Kubernetes, Dock Swarm and others, furthermore these Integration servers are optimised for container deployments by only loading resources that are needed to run an integration, offering fast start up times with reduced resource utilisation.
