Spring Cloud Stream

Spring Cloud Stream is a framework that simplifies building applications which communicate through messaging systems like Kafka or RabbitMQ. It allows developers to connect different parts of a system seamlessly, enabling data to flow asynchronously between services. Think of it as an efficient mail transfer system for software, where messages are sent, received, and processed independently, enhancing scalability and reliability. By abstracting the complexities of messaging infrastructure, Spring Cloud Stream helps organizations create flexible, event-driven applications that can easily grow and adapt to changing needs.
