"description": "Publish-subscribe backbone that decouples event producers from consumers,\nenabling event-driven architectures across microservices. Producers\npublish events to named topics/channels; consumers subscribe and react\nasynchronously, providing temporal decoupling and fan-out.\n\nApache Kafka is the dominant high-throughput option with strong ordering\nguarantees per partition and durable log retention. AWS EventBridge\nprovides serverless routing with content-based filtering and schema\nregistry. NATS offers extremely low-latency pub/sub for service meshes.\nKey concerns include at-least-once vs exactly-once delivery semantics,\nconsumer group lag monitoring, topic partitioning, and schema evolution.\n"
