Unlocking FME Flow’s Potential: Architecture Design for Modern Enterprises

What does it take to transform FME Flow from a powerful ETL tool into a robust enterprise platform? This session dives into the critical architectural decisions that can make or break your FME Flow deployment, whether it’s your first implementation or a major scaling effort. We’ll explore the key choices for designing an FME Flow architecture that fits your IT landscape, integrates smoothly, ensures security, flexibility, and supports future growth. We’ll also address practical questions like: should it be fault-tolerant? Is a single server enough, or do you need a distributed setup? What about infrastructure—cloud, on-premises, or hybrid? And for engines, should they be remote or distributed? These are the kinds of decisions that impact how well FME Flow will perform, how much it’ll cost, and how easy it’ll be to keep running smoothly. In the second half, we’ll bring theory into focus with real-world architecture examples, from smaller setups seeking cost-effective automation to mission-critical environments that require high availability and seamless integration with other enterprise tools. Whether you’re new to FME or a seasoned expert, this session offers actionable insights to bridge strategic planning with practical outcomes.
