mqtt.org VS mosquitto

MQTT (optional): If you're aiming for advanced customization, familiarity with MQTT (a lightweight messaging protocol) will be beneficial for communicating between the toy and the server.

The MQTT protocol is widely used in IoT applications because of its simplicity and ability to connect different data sources to applications using a publish/subscribe model. While many MQTT brokers support persistent sessions and can store message history as long as an MQTT client is not available, there may be cases where data needs to be stored for a longer period. In such cases, it is recommended to use a time series database. There are many options available, but if you need to store unstructured data such as images, sensor data, or Protobuf messages, consider using ReductStore. It is a time series database specifically designed for storing large amounts of blob data and optimized for IoT and edge computing.

https://mqtt.org is more popular, but its more complex. You will unlikely write your own mqtt while you can easily write own stomp broker.

I wanted to share my latest package (published on NuGet) implementing the MQTT v5 protocol.

I jumped onto https://mqtt.org/ to try to answer my usual use-case question about non-Kafka messaging, which is: "Do the messages get saved anywhere so you can come back and read them later?" Still not entirely sure about it.

But I did see:

    This is why MQTT has 3 defined quality of service levels: 0 - at most once, 1- at least once, 2 - exactly once

rumqttd is a high performance, embeddable MQTT broker that we wrote in Rust. MQTT is extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport for the Internet of Things (IoT).

This is a perfect use case for MQTT, e.g. this library for ESP boards. Create a broker on the network (e.g. a Raspberry Pi running Mosquitto, and have all the ESP boards subscribe to a topic. When you want to play a sound, publish a message to the topic, and all of the ESPs should see it very quickly. You don't need to synchronize clocks any more because it's simply based on the timing of publishing a message.

While working on a personal project Komponist, I was due to update Mosquitto MQTT Broker due to a CVE and found some interesting changes that will impact me in the future when it comes to configuring the Broker. This post provides a solution to make the Broker compatible with future versions using new and less visited concepts in Docker Compose v2, namely:

Optional: Mosquitto, an open-source message broker that implements the MQTT protocol; this tutorial uses the public test server

I think he means implementation of MQTT protocol, like https://mosquitto.org/

Could MQTT work for you? You'd need a broker like Mosquitto, and then any of a number of MQTT clients.
