Part 1: Enterprise Integration Fundamentals (30 minutes)

Cognitive Load: 4 new concepts Learning Mode: Conceptual Understanding

Understanding Enterprise Systems (8 minutes)

Enterprise environments are complex ecosystems of interconnected systems requiring robust integration patterns, authentication mechanisms, and fault tolerance. This foundation code demonstrates the protocols and configurations needed for reliable enterprise integration:

File: src/session10/enterprise_architecture.py - Enterprise integration patterns

from typing import Dict, Any, List, Protocol
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from enum import Enum
import asyncio
import aiohttp
import logging
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

class IntegrationPattern(Enum):
    """Common enterprise integration patterns."""
    REQUEST_REPLY = "request_reply"
    PUBLISH_SUBSCRIBE = "publish_subscribe" 
    MESSAGE_QUEUE = "message_queue"
    API_GATEWAY = "api_gateway"
    SERVICE_MESH = "service_mesh"

@dataclass
class SystemConnection:
    """Configuration for enterprise system connections."""
    system_name: str
    endpoint: str
    auth_method: str
    credentials: Dict[str, Any]
    retry_policy: Dict[str, int] = field(default_factory=dict)
    circuit_breaker: bool = True
    timeout_seconds: int = 30
    rate_limit: Optional[int] = None

# Standard adapter interface for enterprise systems

class EnterpriseSystemAdapter(Protocol):
    """Protocol for enterprise system adapters."""

    async def connect(self) -> bool:
        """Establish connection to enterprise system."""
        ...

    async def authenticate(self, credentials: Dict[str, Any]) -> bool:
        """Authenticate with enterprise system."""
        ...

    async def execute_operation(self, operation: str, 
                               params: Dict[str, Any]) -> Any:
        """Execute operation on enterprise system."""
        ...

    async def health_check(self) -> bool:
        """Check system health and connectivity."""
        ...

Key Concepts: 1. Integration Patterns: Standard communication patterns for enterprise systems 2. Connection Management: Robust configuration with circuit breakers and retry policies 3. Adapter Protocol: Consistent interface for all enterprise system integrations 4. Health Monitoring: Built-in health checks for system reliability

ERP System Integration (12 minutes)

Enterprise Resource Planning systems are the backbone of most organizations, requiring specialized adapters that handle authentication, session management, and data transformation. This SAP integration demonstrates OAuth 2.0 authentication, connection pooling, and proper error handling:

Database Integration Patterns (10 minutes)

Enterprise agents often need to interact with multiple databases with different engines, connection requirements, and performance characteristics. This database manager handles connection pooling, transaction management, and multi-database coordination:

File: src/session10/erp_integration.py - Multi-database management patterns

from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession, create_async_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker

class EnterpriseDatabase:
    """Enterprise database connection manager."""

    def __init__(self, database_configs: Dict[str, Dict[str, Any]]):

    async def initialize_connections(self):
        """Initialize all configured database connections."""
        for db_name, config in self.configs.items():
            await self._setup_database(db_name, config)

    async def _setup_postgresql(self, db_name: str, config: Dict[str, Any]):
        """Setup PostgreSQL connection with enterprise configuration."""
        connection_string = (
            f"postgresql+asyncpg://{config['username']}:{config['password']}"
            f"@{config['host']}:{config['port']}/{config['database']}"
        )

        # Database engine configuration
        engine = create_async_engine(
            connection_string,
            pool_size=config.get("pool_size", 10),
            max_overflow=config.get("max_overflow", 20),
            pool_pre_ping=True,  # Validate connections before use
            pool_recycle=3600,   # Recycle connections every hour

        )

Part 2: Production Deployment Essentials (25 minutes)

Cognitive Load: 4 new concepts Learning Mode: Implementation & Practice

Container Strategy (8 minutes)

Production containerization requires multi-stage builds and security hardening to minimize attack surface, reduce image size, and ensure secure runtime environments. This Dockerfile demonstrates security best practices including non-root users and minimal base images:

File: src/session10/deployment/docker_config.py - Docker configuration

# Multi-stage Dockerfile - Build stage

FROM python:3.11-slim as builder

# Build stage for dependencies

WORKDIR /build
COPY requirements.txt .

# Install build dependencies

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    gcc \
    g++ \
    libffi-dev \
    libssl-dev \
    curl \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Create virtual environment and install dependencies

RUN python -m venv /opt/venv
ENV PATH="/opt/venv/bin:$PATH"
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir --upgrade pip
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

# Multi-stage Dockerfile - Runtime stage

FROM python:3.11-slim as runtime

# Runtime stage with minimal footprint

WORKDIR /app

# Copy virtual environment from builder

COPY --from=builder /opt/venv /opt/venv
ENV PATH="/opt/venv/bin:$PATH"

# Install only runtime dependencies

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    curl \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
    && apt-get clean

# Create non-root user for security

RUN groupadd -r agent && useradd -r -g agent agent
RUN mkdir -p /app/logs /app/data && \
    chown -R agent:agent /app

# Copy application code

COPY --chown=agent:agent src/ ./src/
COPY --chown=agent:agent config/ ./config/

# Switch to non-root user

USER agent

# Expose port

EXPOSE 8000

# Health check

HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=10s --retries=3 \
  CMD curl -f http://localhost:8000/health || exit 1

# Start command

CMD ["python", "src/main.py"]

Kubernetes Deployment (10 minutes)

Enterprise Kubernetes configuration with high availability requires proper resource management, health checks, and rolling update strategies. This configuration demonstrates production-ready Kubernetes deployment with security contexts and monitoring:
