Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

For a microservices solution, we preferred to use rest APIs and a lightweight message Bus such as Kafka or RabbitMQ for integration.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Oracle Service Bus six out of 10. OSB isn't suitable for working with modern applications. We can use it for a monolithic application, not in microservices techniques.
