It does not matter if your systems are brand new or legacy. In fact, we support systems that have been running for decades and bring them to modern times without your running the risk of breaking anything. Even Cobol on mainframes is supported; as long as a socket connection can be made, suddenly legacy systems have access to the latest and greatest tooling without installing any libraries and without having to learn and integrate any API’s.
Micro services to the rescue
While the most common use of Pipe2Cloud is running from the command line as CLI tool, we recognize the need for companies to create less points of integration rather than more. For instance, depending on a cloud SMS service requires integrating with a service like Twilio for which SDKs can be downloaded. Software developers can then integrate the service into the app, website or backend.
What happens when the used service goes out of business, changes their price point or gets acquired by a company that does mess well with your core values? With Pipe2Cloud you can run a micro service which will serve up all the different integrations using the same external interface. Meaning that, in order to switch, you only generally have to change one setting (the API key) and that’s it. Everything else works out of the box.
Lightweight and easy to use
Our tools are optimized to be extremely lightweight and easy to use; both as CLI and micro service, they bear hardly any load on the machines they run on and have been stress tested in order to be as little in-the-way as we can possibly make them. Because of this, it is possible to start as many services as you want to suit whatever data goal you may have.
Because there is barely any set up, it takes system administrators generally minutes to become productive with the CLI tool and even with the micro service.
