CRISP is Common Resource model Interface and Service Provider module for External APIs (e.g, API Gateways), which is introduced by BloomReach to enable simple, seamless, enterprise-ready, and performant external services integration.

CRISP is a core software asset which is designed as highly reusable and performant in higher quality expectations.
CRISP enables faster and more cost-effective product and project delivery process.
CRISP gives developers abilities to integrate and aggregate a wide range of data sources, content and services via various mechanisms, such as API Gateway, ESB, REST, RSS, etc., without much effort.
CRISP allows to integrate and aggregate external data and content without having to migrate data or content into single repository.
CRISP provides a cost-effective, performant and reliable toolkit to integrate with any different backends such as Commerce APIs, SalesForce, Eloqua, Marketo, etc. for personalization and content aggregation, with increasing digital experiences.

CRISP address the main architectural questions as follows:

Performance / Efficiency: CRISP provides resource object model caching by default in a generic way. For example, it creates a cache key based on resource space name, operation name, relative resource path, path variables, etc. and it may keep the cached data for a specified time interval (N minute for instance) for best performance under the hood. Application code may simply invoke ResourceServiceBroker API operations transparently without having to consider the details such as caching and invalidation by itself. CRISP will take care of the details for best performance for application developers. Also, applications can implement a "Web-Hook" very easily through transparent API to invalidate caches. In addition, CRISP provides clear API interfaces to serve backend services, generate links for the external resources, cache or invalidate cache the resources, and so on.
Security: CRISP adopts Spring Framework's RestTemplate, OAuth2RestTemplate, etc. for enterprise-ready secured REST service invocations with examples by default.
Availability: CRISP implements all the service components very carefully to meet enterprise quality attributes to guarantee availability quality requirements.
Configurability / Manageability: CRISP provides all the configuration in the repository. So, administrator may update the configuration stored in the repository and all the changes will be reflected at runtime on the fly without having to worry about redeployments or restarts at all.
Modifiability: CRISP is designed with very clean APIs and taking advantage of Spring Framework, Spring Security Framework, Spring Security OAuth Framework, etc. to maximize productivity and modifiability. Also, CRISP provides a generic model API for any different backend data through Resource interface which can be used in the templates without any more code implementation for the models, which increases development productivity a lot.
Cost-effectiveness: CRISP already solves all the backend integration requirements in a generic way. So, enterprise-ready, high-quality integration module can be simply done through simple configurations and minimal code / template implementations in most use cases.
