## Intent
|
|
Sometimes in enterprise systems there is a need to group incoming data in order to process it as a whole. For example
|
|
you may need to gather offers and after defined number of offers has been received you would like to choose the one with
|
|
the best parameters.
|
|
|
|
Aggregator allows you to merge messages based on defined criteria and parameters. It gathers original messages,
|
|
applies aggregation strategy and upon fulfilling given criteria, releasing merged messages.
|
|
