Description

@iluwatar

Introduce the Publish/Subscribe pattern to provide a flexible event-handling system.

The Publish/Subscribe pattern is a messaging paradigm used in software architecture with several key points:

  • Decoupling of publishers and subscribers: Publishers and subscribers operate independently, and there's no direct link between them. This enhances the scalability and modularity of applications.

  • Event-driven communication: The pattern facilitates event-driven architectures by allowing publishers to broadcast events without concerning themselves with who receives the events.

  • Dynamic subscription: Subscribers can dynamically choose to listen for specific events or messages they are interested in, often by subscribing to a particular topic or channel.

  • Asynchronous processing: The pattern inherently supports asynchronous message processing, enabling efficient handling of events and improving application responsiveness.

  • Scalability: By decoupling senders and receivers, the pattern can support a large number of publishers and subscribers, making it suitable for scalable systems.

  • Flexibility and adaptability: New subscribers or publishers can be added to the system without significant changes to the existing components, making the system highly adaptable to evolving requirements.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • The implementation must follow the project's coding standards and directory structure as outlined in the contribution guidelines.
  • Comprehensive unit tests must cover the new pattern implementation, ensuring all major use cases are accounted for.
  • Documentation must be provided, explaining the pattern, its use cases, and how the implementation solves a particular problem, including UML diagrams where applicable.
