An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a software architecture pattern and middleware layer that enables different applications within an organization to communicate and exchange data through a common integration framework. It handles message routing, transformation, and protocol conversion between disparate systems, reducing the need for point-to-point integrations. ESBs (like MuleSoft, IBM Integration Bus, or Apache ServiceMix) are used by enterprise architects and integration developers, though many organizations have since shifted toward microservices and API-based integration approaches.
