In my previous company, we relied on third-party APIs from a vendor. Recently, we were tasked with bringing those APIs in-house, reducing dependence on external vendors. We employed a JBoss server to facilitate the transition of these APIs into our existing system.

The tool's open-source nature influenced my decision to use it because it was cost-effective. Our business team handed it over to us, and they were aligned with using it. I recommend it because it offers multiple application routing data handling capabilities. It helped convert the data.
I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. If someone wants to start using it, I would tell them that there isn't much competition in the market because the tool is unique and has been established for a long time. It has set the benchmark, and other brands are striving to catch up with your range of services. This is something to be proud of.
