What Is Message Oriented Middleware (MOM)?

When you're building a complex application, it's essential to have a solid foundation. But what is that foundation? It's your messaging infrastructure. MOM is the best way to connect your various applications and platforms, ensuring that your customers receive the best possible experience.Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) is a category of software that establishes the rules and standards for message delivery. The main task of a message-oriented middleware is to create, receive, and route messages throughout the system. It is responsible for collecting, processing, and storing these messages. MOM can connect any computer system – from mainframes to mobile devices. It is used to connect enterprise systems and applications in the most common scenarios. In most cases, message-oriented middleware is installed on top of existing software. It is used for various purposes – from integration to real-time communication. MOM, or Middleware for the Modern Age What's a middleware? It's like a link between two things—but not a simple one. It's like the phone cord that connects your headset to your phone, but it also has to be compatible with every other phone and headset worldwide and it's not just compatible with any old phone. A suitable middleware must be compatible with every OS out there—Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux and so on—and it has to work just as well on each one. The term "middleware" has its origins in the early days of computers and computer networking. Used it to describe the software that connected different types of computers, allowing them to share information or resources such as printers and hard drives. But middleware has grown beyond those early days and now can use to connect any two different programs or systems. If your middleware isn't compatible with all those operating systems, it can't do its job. And if it doesn't do its job right, everything falls apart!
