What is the Broker architecture pattern?

Broker architecture pattern is a software design pattern used in distributed computing environments. It consists of a central entity called the "broker," which acts as an intermediary between different components or services within the system. The broker receives requests from clients and routes them to the appropriate service or component. It also manages communication between the components and provides additional services such as logging, error handling, and security. This pattern is particularly useful in systems with a large number of components or services that need to communicate with each other in a decentralized manner. It also provides loose coupling between the components, making the system more resilient to changes and easier to maintain.
