Different cloud services working together seamlessly to create a better user experience. Like having all your home appliances connected and coordinated.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

Cloud integration is a capability rather than a single product. Across providers, it’s typically delivered using (1) workflow/orchestration services to connect apps and APIs, (2) event buses to route events between services, and (3) data integration/ETL tools to move and transform data.
