A technology agnostic distributed publication subscription as a service (DPAAS) server-based environment is used as a wrapper for abstracting technology, protocol and/or vendor specific implementations of publication/subscriber functionality. Users may interface with the DPAAS system an application programming interface to connect and/or disconnect, subscribe and unsubscribe from different publication/subscriber services. Further, selection of underlined technology, protocol and/or other vendor specific solutions can be facilitated by leveraging a self-service onboarding portal. Applications register to the DPAAS, along with any underlying technologies used by the source service, so that communications may be seamless to the end user of the subscribing application. In doing so, the DPAAS solution is vendor, protocol, and/or technology independent. Users of the applications do not need in-depth knowledge of how each application publishes and/or subscribes to data feeds, and migrating applications from one vendor solution or platform to another may be accomplished in an easy, quick and seamless manner.
