Using unikernels to design high performance integration workflows

Abstract:

According to some embodiments, an integration system may include a source data store that contains a plurality of workloads (e.g., data packets). A processing platform may retrieve a workload from the source data store via first unikernel-based workload processing. The processing platform may then process the workload (e.g., filtering or dropping) to generate an output result and arrange for the output result to be provided to a sink destination via second unikernel-based workload processing (e.g., associated with a Linux event loop model of input output multiplexing). In some embodiments, the processing platform initially evaluates the workload in the source data store to determine if the workload meets a predetermined condition. If the workload does not meet the predetermined condition, the retrieving and arranging may be performed via container-based workload processing instead of unikernel-based workload processing.
