Case Study - Modernizing Integrations Boomi to Workato Migration at Scale

Overview

To modernize its integration landscape, the customer embarked on migrating over 350 integrations from Boomi to Workato. The initiative aimed to overcome limitations of the legacy setup, including sluggish performance from long-running database operations, difficulty processing large files (such as ZIP archives and attachments), and constrained scalability. The new Workato-based architecture was designed to boost responsiveness, simplify maintenance, and enable seamless execution of high-volume, business-critical integrations.

Challenge

The customer needed to migrate 350+ integrations from Boomi to Workato while enhancing performance, scalability, and real-time responsiveness. The legacy setup struggled with long-running database calls, large data volumes, and limited file handling (e.g., ZIP files, attachments), which caused slow processes, higher operational effort, and made critical high-volume integrations difficult to run.

Solution

To resolve the technical challenges, we built an event-driven architecture and enhanced workflows. Along with the Workato migration, we added custom Python extensions where native support was missing. This hybrid approach kept Workato’sautomation strengths while adding the flexibility needed for the customer’s complex use cases.

Benefits

• Millions of records processed without failure.
• Python scripts closed Workato’s native gaps.
• Event-driven design minimized delays and downtime.
• Architecture built to scale with Itron’s growth.
