What is Middleware?

Middleware is software that enables one or more kinds of communication or connectivity between two or more applications or application components in a distributed network. IBM Master Inventor Martin Keen gives a simple example of an online purchase of a water bottle to paint the picture of Middleware and how it works.

As a teacher myself, can I say, you are a natural! Very easy to follow, great examples and just tied it all together. I am sharing this with my classes in the future.

this was fun to watch and I finally have an idea on middleware

[almogyatzkan]

I couldn’t hear my professor anymore so I came here and actually enjoyed it and also learned something. Thanks!

IBM
One of the best people out there who teach Technology related stuff

[buddhika]

Wow, I was just looking for brush up my knowledge on this subject and then suddenly this recommended to me. 😁

[edmondocerza]

Wonderful video made simple to understand thank you!!!

[akindayoakinlabi]

I got more than I expected watching this. Such an amazing way of explaining, using just a water bottle😅. I'm definitely hitting the subscribe button! and like button as "thank you"

[sohrobby]

This is a great channel with great content. Keep it up!

[vijayas]

Good Explanation ..I learnt something in a simple manner..thanks

Thank you for the clar and cool explanation, I want to implement a middleware and I'm gathering data around

Me Vs IBM 😶‍🌫️: A middleware is an entity lives between tow or more different types of entities in a network or a system. It helps to unify communications between those different entities by controlling and reformatting data structure or type to be able to exchange ( serve or processing) data for exemple from xml to json then pass the requests to API of the receiver.
Example: payment device in store send data in xml format, the middleware take this xml and transform it into json and send data to mongodb.. the API are just a simple interfaces act like entry point to our application. 😂
This is how I memorized the middleware role when we studied systems and applications architecture in university 14 years ago 😅

I'm seriously impressed with the way you're able to effortlessly write mirrored

[dcmiklas]

Is there some type of hands-on board that shows the function of middleware that a person can touch (LED, L.

[TheToobNube]

I'm curious, did he write in reverse or is the video flipped horizontally?

[Animal-ybrr]

I was in the middle of putting my kitchen wares in the washing machine, but I saw this video and I stopped

[chaoluncai]

If REST can consider to be a middleware, then can web framework such as Spring, Django potentially be sort of a middleware? Since they help us to handle logics other than business

[santoshadhikari]

Does a non programming background Data Analyst need to know these API programming?

[KuleRucket]

I can't work out if he's actually writing backwards or there's a trick.

This channel generally creates good content. However, this particular video is not very impressive.
In Enterprise Systems, Middleware is much more than REST services.
This seems to give a wrong idea about what actual middleware is!
In my humble opinion, Middleware facilitates communication between two services that might have different schema and attributes.
