Message-Oriented Middleware

Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) is software that connects different computer systems or applications by passing messages between them. Imagine it as a postal service that securely delivers information from one program to another, even if they operate on different platforms or locations. MOM ensures messages are sent, received, and processed reliably, allowing systems to communicate asynchronously and stay decoupled. This facilitates efficient data exchange, integration, and coordination across complex IT environments without requiring direct, real-time connections.
