Abstract

The increasing complexity of enterprise digital ecosystems demands scalable and secure integration between front-end user interfaces and back-end business information systems. Traditional monolithic architectures struggle to support the elasticity, interoperability, and real-time data synchronization required in modern cloud-enabled environments. This review examines state-of-the-art cloud integration frameworks, highlighting architectural paradigms such as microservices, API-driven connectivity, service-oriented integration, and event-streaming platforms. The paper evaluates the role of container orchestration, serverless computing, and hybrid/multi-cloud strategies in enabling horizontal scalability and seamless workflow automation. It further discusses integration middleware, enterprise service buses, and emerging cloud-native technologies that enhance performance, resilience, and maintainability across distributed systems. Challenges such as data governance, latency, security, API lifecycle management, and cross-platform compatibility are explored, alongside best practices for designing a scalable integration framework. The review concludes by proposing a conceptual cloud integration model that unifies front-end and back-end systems through standardized APIs, real-time data pipelines, and modular service abstractions to support agile, future-ready enterprise operations.
