Really? Isn't that one of the primary use cases for something like Apache Kafka? (And Kafka seems to be very popular even today.)
- nhumrich 5y agokafka is not an enterprise service bus. It doesn't do transformations. It doesn't even do any other things such as throttling, replays, etc. That is all handled by the client. Kafka would count as what martin fowler calls a "dumb pipe". That is to say, kafka isn't aware of its clients, it just pipes them together. note, the term "message bus" is similar, but not quite the same as "service bus"
