Microservice Origins

Microservice origins listen for or read JSON-formatted requests. They also send responses from microservice destinations back to the origin system.

You can use the following origins in microservice pipelines:
  • REST Service origin - Listens on an HTTP endpoint, parses the contents of all authorized requests, and sends responses back to the originating REST API. Creates multiple threads to enable parallel processing in a multithreaded pipeline.
  • WebSocket Client origin - Reads data from a WebSocket server endpoint. Can send responses back to the origin system as part of a microservice pipeline.
  • WebSocket Server origin - Listens on a WebSocket endpoint and processes the contents of all authorized WebSocket client requests. Creates multiple threads to enable parallel processing in a multithreaded pipeline. Can send responses back to the origin system as part of a microservice pipeline.
