In the context of computer science, particularly in software development and data processing, „Zprávy“ translates to „Messages“ in English. Messages are units of information exchanged between software components, systems, or users in a communication protocol. They can be structured data packets transmitted across networks, or they may represent notifications or commands in various inter-process communications.
In messaging systems, messages often contain a header (which includes metadata such as sender, recipient, timestamp, and message type) and a body (which includes the actual data or content). Messaging can occur synchronously or asynchronously, enabling decoupled architectures, where components do not need to operate simultaneously.
Messages are pivotal in service-oriented architectures (SOA), message-oriented middleware (MOM), and event-driven programming, facilitating communication between distributed applications, microservices, or modules within an application. They help improve scalability, reliability, and ease of integration across different systems or platforms.
