Spring Cloud Stream4.1.3

Spring Cloud Stream is a framework for building highly scalable event-driven microservices connected with shared messaging systems.

The framework provides a flexible programming model built on already established and familiar Spring idioms and best practices, including support for persistent pub/sub semantics, consumer groups, and stateful partitions.

Binder Implementations

Spring Cloud Stream supports a variety of binder implementations and the following table includes the link to the GitHub projects.

• RabbitMQ

• Apache Kafka

• Kafka Streams

• Apache Pulsar

• Amazon Kinesis

• Google PubSub (partner maintained)

• Solace PubSub+ (partner maintained)

• Oracle TxEventQ_(partner maintained)_

• Azure Event Hubs (partner maintained)

• Azure Service Bus (partner maintained)

• AWS SNS (partner maintained)

• Apache RocketMQ (partner maintained)

The core building blocks of Spring Cloud Stream are:

• Destination Binders: Components responsible to provide integration with the external messaging systems.

• Destination Bindings: Bridge between the external messaging systems and application code (producer/consumer) provided by the end user.

• Message: The canonical data structure used by producers and consumers to communicate with Destination Binders (and thus other applications via external messaging systems).
