UltraESB is a lightweight enterprise service bus (ESB) capable of supporting many transports and message formats natively. It allows messages to be mediated via Java or JSR 223 scripting languages through an API, ^[1] and is the first ESB to claim support for Zero-Copy proxying ^[2] of messages with Non-Blocking IO capabilities. In 2013, it was selected as the ESB and API Management platform by a recent Fortune #1 company based on its performance and stability.

The initial version was published in January 2010 ^[3] and the code was subsequently open sourced under the OSI approved Affero General Public License (AGPL) in 24 August 2010. ^[4] Continuous nightly builds ^[5] are there to ensure the performance of latest development code.

Features

Some of the key features of UltraESB are:

• Use any IDE – Allowing users to choose any IDE for development significantly reduces the learning curve for development
• Ability to unit test, along with close to 50% code coverage ^[6]
• Easily extensible via third-party libraries, Spring configured beans and custom code
• Support for number of message formats and transformations ^[7]
• Support for payloads and protocols such as AS2, HL7, SOAP, REST, FIX transports such as MLLP/S, JMS, AMQP, FTP/S, SFTP and WS-Security, XACML and JTA XA transactions
• Very light weight download of ~42MB for complete distribution (Minimal version < 9MB)
• Support for clustering and fail-over for high-availability
• Built-in metrics and JMX, CLI and Web based management
