- It is based on Pub/Sub architecture, not Point to Point. Adding new subscribers (targets) for existing published feed requires no work on the publisher (Source side)
- Agnostic to source and sink of data residing in an RDBMS, NoSQL DB, other DBMS, Flat Files, etc.
- Does not tightly couple publisher and subscriber endpoints.
- Ability to track completed file transmissions (via log records)
- Using HTTP as File transfer Protocol allows customers to utilize the language and frameworks that they are most comfortable with.
- Does not require a contract (connectivity configuration) between two servers (not server specific Point to Point). It’s simply a contract between two applications.
- Automatically retries delivery to subscriber for 24 hours. If it still fails, it will be marked as permanently failed.
- User authentication for each publish request.
- Authorization for each end point (IP of publisher) determines if allowed to publish or not.
- Supports low latency for transmission of large files.
- Feed can be defined with a guaranteed delivery option. This includes dealing with subscribers that are down for an extended amount of time.
