In the context of software architecture, a 'broker' is an architectural pattern used to structure distributed software systems with decoupled components. Brokers act as intermediaries, facilitating communication and coordination among components. They manage message routing, transformation, and delivery, enabling components to interact without direct knowledge of each other. This promotes flexibility, scalability, and maintainability in complex systems. Common uses include message queues (like RabbitMQ or Kafka), Enterprise Service Buses (ESBs), and API gateways.
