Testing new technologies

Introduction to MQTT

▪ Message Queue Telemetry Transport

▪ Designed for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) communication

▪ Simple & Lightweight

▪ Supports different communication models: 1:1, 1:N, M:N

▪ TCP-based

▪ Publisher-subscriber pattern

▪ Broker is a routing server

▪ Publishers publish messages

▪ Subscribers consume published messages
