Boomi Dynamic Process Properties: Real-World Examples

If you’ve been working with Boomi for any length of time, you’ve probably encountered scenarios where you need to store temporary values, track counters, or pass data between different parts of your integration process. That’s exactly where Dynamic Process Properties (DPPs) come into play.

In this comprehensive guide, I’ll walk you through what Dynamic Process Properties are, when to use them, and most importantly—real-world examples that you can implement in your own integrations today.

Internet & Networking Basics Every Integration Engineer Should Understand

In integration work, many of the hardest problems don’t come from mappings, transformations, or logic.
They come from somewhere quieter — the network layer we often take for granted.

Over time, I realised that understanding just a little about how the internet actually works — clients and servers, DNS, ports, HTTP, security — changed how I approached integrations entirely. Debugging became calmer. Conversations with infra and security teams became clearer. Architecture decisions started to make more sense.

This piece is not about becoming a network engineer.
It’s about building a strong enough foundation to design, troubleshoot, and explain integrations with confidence.

If you work with APIs, middleware, cloud platforms, or AI agents, these basics quietly shape everything you build — whether you see them or not.

Linux for Absolute Beginners – A Friendly, Confidence-Building Guide

Most cloud and container technologies sit on top of Linux, yet many engineers never get a simple, beginner-friendly introduction to how Linux actually works. This guide breaks the noise down. You’ll learn how to move around a Linux server, read logs, monitor disk and memory, manage services, and handle issues like inode exhaustion or out-of-disk errors — all with calm, practical steps you can apply immediately on any cloud-hosted machine.
