# Concepts
|
|
|
|
In JetStream the configuration for storing messages is defined separately from how they are consumed. Storage is defined in a _Stream_ and consuming messages is defined by multiple _Consumers_.
|
|
|
|
We'll discuss these 2 subjects in the context of this architecture.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While this is an incomplete architecture it does show a number of key points:
|
|
|
|
* Many related subjects are stored in a Stream
|
|
* Consumers can have different modes of operation and receive just subsets of the messages
|
|
* Multiple Acknowledgement modes are supported
|
|
|
|
A new order arrives on `ORDERS.received`, gets sent to the `NEW` Consumer who, on success, will create a new message on `ORDERS.processed`. The `ORDERS.processed` message again enters the Stream where a `DISPATCH` Consumer receives it and once processed it will create an `ORDERS.completed` message which will again enter the Stream. These operations are all `pull` based meaning they are work queues and can scale horizontally. All require acknowledged delivery ensuring no order is missed.
|
|
|
|
All messages are delivered to a `MONITOR` Consumer without any acknowledgement and using Pub/Sub semantics - they are pushed to the monitor.
|
|
|
|
As messages are acknowledged to the `NEW` and `DISPATCH` Consumers, a percentage of them are Sampled and messages indicating redelivery counts, ack delays and more, are delivered to the monitoring system.
