Message broker
Software that receives messages from one system and passes them to the right destination
What's it for?
Routes messages between systems so each side does not need to connect directly to every other one.
For example…
One order update is passed to several systems that need it
A message broker receives order events and routes copies to stock, notifications and analytics consumers according to their subscriptions
Think of it like…
Sorting office that accepts post and gets it to the right departments without senders walking it over
