Qlik Talend Cloud has a forward path for data integration and none for ESB. Here is the inventory-and-exit playbook we run on Talend Runtime estates: classify every artifact by workload type, retire the batch jobs wearing service costumes, rehost real services on Spring Boot or standalone Camel, and snapshot the container config before it disappears.
