title: Feature Comparison | ||
--- | ||
|
||
Liftbridge shares some similarities with other stream-oriented pub/sub | ||
messaging systems. The below feature-comparison matrix shows how it compares to | ||
a few of these systems. | ||
|
||
> **Architect's Note** | ||
> | ||
> These are highly nuanced pieces of infrastructure, so a straight comparison | ||
> of features is often of minimal value when evaluating solutions. This matrix | ||
> is primarily meant to serve as a reference point for those attempting to | ||
> develop a mental model of Liftbridge. | ||
