Abstract

By routing messages based on their content, publish/subscribe (pub/sub) systems remove the need to establish and maintain fixed communication channels. Pub/sub is a natural candidate for designing large-scale systems, composed of applications running in different domains and communicating via middleware solutions deployed on a public cloud. Such pub/sub systems must provide high throughput, filtering thousands of publications per second matched against hundreds of thousands of registered subscriptions with low and predictable delays, and must scale horizontally and vertically. As large-scale application composition may require complex publications and subscriptions representations, pub/sub system designs should not rely on the specific characteristics of a particular filtering scheme for implementing scalability.
