In a <strong class="kw">broker topology</strong>, events flow directly between producers and consumers through a distributed broker with no central authority, while a <strong class="kw">mediator topology</strong> routes every event through a central orchestrator that dictates the sequence of steps. The choice determines how easily the system scales versus how easily complex, stateful workflows can be managed and debugged.</p>
