BAM Toolboxes - Quick Deployment for your Scenario

I have written BAM toolboxes, which is an installable archive in WSO2 BAM. This provides you a quick deployment of your scenario in WSO2 BAM in few seconds.

WSO2 BAM has importantly three components,

1. Receiving Data/Events and Storage
   - This is the main interface which BAM interacts with other servers. That is you can use WSO2 servers/ any third part servers/application and send the events/data to BAM. I'll include how you can send events to BAM in a separate article.
2. Analytics
   - This component analyzes the data that is received in part-1, and produces some useful information out of your data. Apache Hive and hadoop are used in this segment to analyze the big data and scale according to the requirement.
3. Presentation
   There are attractive dashboards, gadgets, reports can be produced in this segment out of the data you have summarized in step-2.

In reality during the testing stage, you might be writing your own customized artifacts in all three above components. The toolbox provides you the flexibility of combining all three as a single artifact and install in WSO2 BAM, such that all the components as mentioned above can come in to the BAM within few seconds, rather manually setting up the environment in production setup.

And also WSO2 BAM will be continuously releasing new toolboxes which includes different use cases such that you can just install that in WSO2 BAM and try out.

You can see how you can install the toolboxes in WSO2 BAM inhttp://docs.wso2.org/wiki/display/BAM200/Creating+a+Custom+Toolbox http://docs.wso2.org/wiki/display/BAM200/Introduction+to+BAM+Toolbox

I'm in WSO2..

Soon after I complete B.Sc in Engineering in UoM, I joined WSO2 in December 1^st 2011 as a Software Engineer. A next major chapter unfolds in my life from WSO2. It's really wonderful company to work in Sri Lanka. I was assigned to work in BAM(Business Activity Monitoring) which is one of the most expected product in WSO2. I'll write a separate post about WSO2 BAM soon.

WSO2 is a Open source Company, ie, all WSO2 products are 100% open source and released under Apache Licence Version 2.0. It's the only company which provides the complete open source middleware platform. Fully cloud-native, the WSO2 middleware platform is also the only open source platform-as-a-service for private, public and hybrid cloud deployments available today. WSO2 has nearly 15 different kind of products such as WSO2 BAM (Business Activity Monitoring), WSO2 ESB(Enterprise Service Bus), WSO2 IS (Identity Server), WSO2 DSS (Data Services Server), etc which can provide complete solution to enterprise applications. And the count of products doubles to 30 with PaaS (Platform as a Service), ie all WSO2 products are available in WSO2 Stratos. You can visit to WSO2 from www.wso2.com and contact via www.wso2.com/contact for any queries.

WSO2 uses SOA (Service oriented Architecture) throughout it's platform. The WSO2 Carbon, is the core of all WSO2 products. Each products are composed it's respective features. And by installing the respective features of the product on top of carbon will give a new product. And the all products and platform consists of totally independent components where as it can be installed and uninstalled independently. This is achieved through OSGI (Open Services Gateway Initiative) framework. I'll write a separate post on how you can work with OSGI framework.

WSO2 gives me an opportunity to work with lots of products and technologies. From the day one in WSO2, I'm coming across new things and learning continuously. I'm sure WSO2 is going to a big turning point in my life time!!
