Which integration technology is suitable for notifying order management, warehouse, and billing systems within 15 minutes of order submission?

The most suitable integration technology for notifying order management, warehouse, and billing systems within 15 minutes of order submission is a Message Queue. This technology is specifically designed to facilitate asynchronous communication between different applications or services, allowing messages to be sent and received in a non-blocking manner.

In this scenario, a Message Queue enables the order submission system to place a notification message in the queue. The downstream systems—order management, warehouse, and billing—can then asynchronously consume these messages when they are ready, ensuring that each system is promptly notified of the new order. This decouples the order submission process from the processing of the order notifications, making the integration robust and ensuring that each receiving system has the flexibility to process notifications at its own pace while adhering to the required time frame.

Other integration technologies like Data Warehouse and ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) are primarily focused on data transformation and batch processing, which are not suited for real-time or near real-time notifications. API Management, while facilitating communication via APIs, is typically more suited for direct request-response patterns rather than asynchronous messaging for notification purposes. Thus, in scenarios requiring timely and efficient notifications, a Message Queue is the ideal choice.
