Red Hat Fuse supports Spring Boot, OSGi and Java EE for use in enterprise IT organizations. It has a pluggable architecture that allows individuals to use their preferred software services in a traditional service-oriented architecture (SOA) or a microservices-based architecture. Fuse components may be deployed on-premises or in public/private clouds.
Fuse was originally built by the company LogicBlaze, and was later acquired by IONA Technologies in 2007.3 IONA was acquired by Progress Software in 2008, and the open-source group was later spun out into its own entity, FuseSource Corporation.4
In June 2012, Red Hat Inc. announced that it had acquired FuseSource from Progress Software.5 Following the acquisition, Fuse ESB was rebranded as Red Hat JBoss Fuse and became available for download at the developer website or the Red Hat customer portal. The name was then simplified to just Red Hat Fuse.6
