LogBus can check a lot of the same boxes that an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) can, just not at the scale & complexity required for large enterprises.  Before reaching for a big solution, consider LogBus to quickly prototype and validate a solution.  Here is how LogBus maps onto the components of an ESB from [this AWS article](https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/enterprise-service-bus/):

## Endpoints

LogBus [sources](/plugins/#sources) & [sinks](/plugins/#sinks) map well to these components.

## Adapters

There are [parsers & formatters](/plugins/#parsing) for JSON & YAML, [observability plugins](/plugins/#observability) stats & errors, and [miscellaneous plugins](/plugins/#miscellaneous) that can transform events.

## Bus

This is the LogBus Pipeline.  A pipeline can contain multiple Flows.  Flows can [split & merge](/features/fan-out-in).  There is no monolithic, multi-tenant event bus to operate.  Instead, LogBus pipelines would be distributed as needed and evaluated by multiple LogBus processes.
