Using embedded brokers - pros and cons

I want to setup a network of brokers because I need to serve a number of users at the same time. I discovered that I may use either embedded brokers and start every broker in a Java Code or download full apache activemq distribution and run multiple instances.

For the moment, I don't have any specific reason to use embedded brokers. But on the other hand I don't have any reasons against using embedded brokers. Could you please give a hint what may be real disadvantages of using embedded brokers?

Thanks, Cheers

You probably want stand-alone broker(s).

Embedded brokers (in an application context) are usually used inside an application server to provide for fast response/low latency to application code in the running application server. The embedded broker would then store-and-forward the messages to another broker or interested clients. Other use cases including using embedded broker in unit tests, or within an embedded IOT-style computer.
