Cloud Messaging

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. Managed cloud services and patterns for sending messages, events, or notifications between systems asynchronously. Cloud messaging is used for task queues, event buses, push notifications, and decoupled service communication without requiring teams to run all the messaging infrastructure themselves.

    In plain English: Messaging and event delivery handled through cloud-based services.

    Example: "The app switched to cloud messaging so order events could fan out to analytics, billing, and email without tight service-to-service coupling."
