eMBee Integration Blogs ☕¶
Hi, I’m Matthias Blomme I’m an IBM Champion, an integration specialist, and a bit of an IT nerd.
Welcome to my corner of the web.
I write about IBM Integration (ACE, MQ, DevOps), but also about the real, hands-on work of making tech run smoothly in modern environments. I'm trying to bring some AI in here as well
This blog is not marketing fluff.
Expect walkthroughs, sharp opinions, and experiments straight out of my homelab (sometimes successful, sometimes… less so).

👋 Why “eMBee”?¶
It’s short for Matthias Blomme — and yeah, I like the bee vibe.
Integration is like a hive: messy, noisy, but amazing when it works together.
Pull up a chair, grab a coffee (by all means, grab a couple), and let’s get into it.
