Apache Kafka®, is an open-source distributed streaming platform.

Massive amounts data can be moved as messages between services, applications and systems at any one time. If an application isn’t available or a service interruption occurs, messages and transactions may be lost or duplicated. This can cost businesses time and money. IBM has refined IBM MQ over the past 25 years. MQ allows you to hold a message in a queue until it is delivered. MQ moves data once, even file data, to avoid competitors delivering messages twice or not at the right time. MQ will never lose a message. IBM MQ can be run on your mainframe, in containers, in public or private clouds or in containers. IBM offers an IBM-managed cloud service (IBM MQ Cloud), hosted on Amazon Web Services or IBM Cloud, as well as a purpose-built Appliance (IBM MQ Appliance), to simplify deployment and maintenance.

Amazon Simple Notification Service is a fully managed messaging platform that allows for system-to–system and app-to–person (A2P), communication. It allows you to communicate between systems using publish/subscribe patterns (pub/sub), which allow messaging between decoupled microservice apps. You can also communicate directly with users via SMS, mobile push, and email. The system-to–system pub/sub functionality allows for topic-based, high-throughput push-based, many–to-many messaging. Your publisher systems can use Amazon SNS topics to fanout messages to large numbers of customer endpoints or subscriber systems, including Amazon SQS queues and AWS Lambda functions. You can send messages to large numbers of users using the A2P messaging functionality. This allows you to use either a pub/sub or direct-publish message using one API.
