Stream: New Technologies
Time: 10:00 - 10:45
As enterprises modernize, the challenge of integrating mainframe systems with cloud-native applications and distributed architectures becomes increasingly critical. This session explores the evolving landscape of mainframe connectivity—from traditional APIs and message queues to emerging options like event streaming, RESTful services, and direct database access. We’ll examine the trade-offs in performance, security, scalability, and developer experience, and provide a practical framework for selecting the right connectivity model based on workload, latency sensitivity, and modernization goals. Whether you're enabling real-time data access or building resilient hybrid workflows, this session will help you make informed connectivity choices that align with your enterprise strategy.
