Server Integrations Overview
Server-to-Server integrations focus on message and data flow between MAPS Messaging and other servers, brokers, or data systems. These features allow MAPS to extend beyond a single deployment and operate as part of a distributed messaging fabric.
Capabilities
-
Service Discovery
Automatically detect peers using mechanisms mDNS. -
Inter-Server Connections
Establish federated links or bridges to enable message exchange across multiple MAPS servers or third-party brokers. -
Schema Sharing
Maintain consistent message definitions across environments using schemas (JSON, Avro, Protobuf, CSV). -
Machine Learning Models
Share ML models between servers to provide distributed anomaly detection, filtering, or intelligent routing. -
Protocol Bridging
Translate between supported protocols (e.g., MQTT ↔ AMQP ↔ NATS ↔ Satellite) without application changes.
When to Use Server Integrations
Choose server integrations when you need to:
- Scale beyond a single MAPS instance
- Connect remote sites, edge devices, or data centers
- Federate messaging across different protocols or vendors
- Ensure consistent message definitions across a distributed deployment
- Apply ML-based filtering or anomaly detection consistently
