Abstract: Vera C. Rubin Observatory, formerly known as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is approaching its operational phase, and all actors in the scientific/software ecosystem surrounding it are in the last phases of preparations.One of the types of the data that Rubin will publicly deliver are real-time alerts -a data stream of transient astronomical events.These alerts will be disseminated to the public through seven project-approved 'community brokers' -applications used to ingest data stream and provide various additional functionalities.In this review paper we compare software designs and analyze features of seven Rubin community brokers -ALeRCE, AMPEL, ANTARES, Babamul, Fink, Lasair, Pitt-Google.
