CLIENTLeaveTown, a Canadian company operating in the travel industry GOALLeaveTown Enriching the client’s property listing by creating a solution that handles different kinds of integration flows exposed by individual providers in real-time? Challenge Accepted! WE MADE IT! Our client was looking for a way to enrich their property listing. A solution was needed to aggregate and synchronize offers from a variety of third-party property providers within the client’s existing system, including criteria such as booking status and pricing. Our team was tasked with designing and implementing components which allow efficient integrations between the core of the system and the external property providers. The second step was to integrate a few external providers. Because integration possibilities differ in many ways from provider to provider, getting offers and keeping them in sync requires implementing various push/pull mechanisms, real-time notifications, or a mix of both. Such services involve a variety of technologies like FTP, WCF services, and REST APIs, as well as providing data in different formats like text, XML, JSON, and more. For these reasons, particular integrations were implemented independently as separate services with dedicated databases. All data exchanged between them and the core component of the system was handled by the middleware component. Creating such a message broker ensured compatibility with the core of the system, while simultaneously providing a lightweight interface for the new integration services.
