Firstly, what is a message broker?

A message broker is an architecture pattern, software or server that facilitates, provides and enables the connection, communication and exchange of information between applications, systems and services for message validation, transformation, and routing. It translates information and messages between interdependent applications even if there is a contrast in the language or executed and administered platforms.

What is Memphis.Dev?

You might be hearing this for the first time but Memphis{dev} is a product and an example of a message broker.

Memphis is an open-source application that enables and promotes excellent engagement, processing and communication(end-to-end support) with data, data-driven applications and streamlined pipelines.

A cloud-native message broker with an ecosystem that enables less cost-effective and fast/ rapid development of modern queue-based use classes that require large volumes of streamed and enriched data, modern protocols and zero ops for data-oriented developers and data engineers.
