Partition messages for more horizontal scalability: Allows for organizing messages to maximum concurrent access.Long-term data retention: Efficiently stores data for immediate access in a manner limited only by disk space.Replayable events: Serves as a repository for microservices to build in-memory copies of source data, up to any point in time.Publish and subscribe: Many to many dissemination in a fault tolerant, durable manner.AMQ Streams, based on the Apache Kafka and Strimzi projects, offers a distributed backbone that allows microservices and other applications to share data with extremely high throughput.
