Cloud Engineering Archives - Software Engineering DailyNATS Messaging with Derek Collison
A message broker is an architectural component that sends messages between different nodes in a distributed system.
Message brokers are useful because the sender of a message does not always know who might want to receive that message. Message brokers can be used to implement the “publish/subscribe” pattern, and by centralizing the message workloads within the pub/sub system, it lets system operators scale the performance of the messaging infrastructure by simply scaling that pub/sub system.
Derek Collison has worked on messaging infrastructure for 25 years. He started at TIBCO, then spent time...
