Compare the Top Event Brokers for Linux as of April 2025

What are Event Brokers for Linux?

Event brokers are middleware platforms that manage the flow of events between different systems or applications in an event-driven architecture (EDA). These brokers facilitate the decoupling of event producers and consumers by handling the publishing, routing, and consumption of events in real time. They allow systems to asynchronously process and respond to events such as data changes, user actions, or external triggers without direct interaction between the components. Event brokers are often used in microservices architectures, IoT ecosystems, and real-time data processing systems to enable efficient and scalable communication. Compare and read user reviews of the best Event Brokers for Linux currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    IBM MQ
    Massive amounts of data move as messages between applications, systems and services at any given time. If an application isn’t ready or if there’s a service interruption, messages and transactions can be lost or duplicated, costing businesses time and money to make things right. IBM has expertly refined IBM MQ over 25 years on the market. With MQ, if a message can’t be delivered immediately, it’s secured in a queue, where it waits until delivery is assured. Where competitors may deliver messages twice or not at all, MQ moves data, including file data, once — and once only. Never lose a message with MQ. IBM MQ is available as software to run in public or private clouds, in containers or on your mainframe. IBM also offers an IBM-managed cloud service (IBM MQ on Cloud) hosted on IBM Cloud or Amazon, and even as a purpose-built Appliance (IBM MQ Appliance) to simplify deployment and maintenance.
