### Firstly, what is a message broker?

A message broker is an architecture pattern, software or server that facilitates, provides and enables the connection, communication and exchange of information between applications, systems and services for message validation, transformation, and routing. It translates information and messages between interdependent applications even if there is a contrast in the language or executed and administered platforms.
