Introduction
Spring Cloud Stream, is a mechanism by which you can decouple the implementation of your producers and consumers from the type of messaging infrastructure you want to use. This allows us to keep our consumers and producers to be broker agnostic and we can easily switch to a different kind of broker by changing the binder implementation.
There are quite many binder implementations like e.g Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS SNS, AWS SQS, etc. You can find a list of available binder implementations here.
