# Messaging patterns

Ylem is a data streaming platform on steroids. And that allows you to use the most popular, agile, and advanced messaging patterns to empower your pipelines with best practices.

You don't need to program anything. Our UI and backend software take care of everything under the hood.

Take a look at the following best practice implementation of messaging patterns with Ylem and re-use them for your pipelines:
