In the context of computer science, „Zprávy“ translates to „Messages“ in English. Messages are a fundamental concept in computer communications, referring to pieces of information or data that are transmitted from one entity to another within a system. These entities can be processes, applications, or devices.
In distributed systems, messaging is often used to enable communication between components, allowing them to share data and coordinate actions. This can be done through various protocols and mechanisms, such as message queues, pub/sub systems, or direct communications like sockets.
Messages can include various types of content, such as service requests, notifications, or data updates, and may also contain metadata like headers that describe the message’s attributes (e.g., sender, recipient, timestamp).
By using messages, systems can achieve decoupling of components, enhancing scalability, reliability, and flexibility. Messaging systems often provide features like delivery guarantees, message persistence, and error handling, making them essential in modern software architectures, especially in microservices and cloud computing contexts.
