NARRATIVE:
The TVA-Messaging Enablers [Motivation] view extends Technical view - application and provides a comprehensive framework for leveraging various elements to facilitate effective messaging. This view is composed of two main elements: 'Messaging Enablers' and 'Business Agnostic Messaging Solutions'.
The 'Messaging Enablers' is a Grouping ABB (Architecture Building Block) that encapsulates the elements that enable messaging. Within this grouping, there is an Application Service ABB named 'Message Broker'. The 'Message Broker' is a crucial component that facilitates the exchange of messages between different applications, acting as an intermediary to ensure smooth communication.
On the other hand, 'Business Agnostic Messaging Solutions' is a Grouping SBB (Solution Building Block) that contains a set of Application Service SBBs. These are 'ActiveMQ', 'Apache Kafka', 'Apache Kafka Streams', and 'RabbitMQ'. These services are independent of any specific business context and can be used across various business scenarios.
'ActiveMQ' is an open-source messaging and Integration Patterns server, which can handle communication from more than one client or server. 'Apache Kafka' is a distributed streaming platform that is designed to handle real-time data feeds. 'Apache Kafka Streams' is a client library for building applications and microservices, where the input and output data are stored in Kafka clusters. 'RabbitMQ' is an open-source message broker software that implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP).
The relationship between these elements is that the 'Message Broker' in the 'Messaging Enablers' grouping facilitates the communication between the different 'Business Agnostic Messaging Solutions'. These solutions, in turn, provide the necessary services to handle various messaging requirements in a business-agnostic manner. The motivation behind this arrangement is to provide a flexible and robust messaging framework that can cater to diverse business needs.
