In our Spring Boot application, which encompasses various projects, we employ ZeroMQ (ZMQ) for communication via a req/resp pattern. Recently, I observed that data is persisted in the MongoDB database before being transmitted to other applications. I've identified a method to monitor changes to the database, and I'm contemplating whether to utilize this monitoring approach to detect changes and execute the necessary instructions.

Which approach is more advisable in this scenario: leveraging the database monitoring mechanism or sticking with the current ZMQ req/resp communication?

Essentially, I'm seeking guidance on whether to rely on database monitoring for change detection and subsequent actions or to continue with the existing ZMQ communication pattern.
