Message-oriented middleware (MOM) #
This chapter shows the integration of microservices using a message-oriented middleware (MOM). A MOM sends messages and ensures that they reach the recipient. MOMs are asynchronous, meaning that they do not implement request/reply as is done with synchronous communication protocols, they only send messages.

- high reliability
- low latency
- high throughput
MOMs also have a long history; they form the basis of numerous business-critical systems.
