  • High Available Mosquitto MQTT on Kubernetes
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 18 May 2025
    I built a high scale MQTT ingestion system by utilising the MQTT protocol handler for Apache Pulsar (https://github.com/streamnative/mop). I ran a forked version and contributed back some of non-proprietary bits.

    A lot more work than Mosquitto but obviously HA/distributed and some tradeoffs w.r.t features. Worth it if you want to run Pulsar anyway for other reasons.

    While Pulsar has its own protocol that handles streaming, queues, and a lot of the other features (distributed transactions, functions, etc.), it can also speak other messaging protocols via plug-ins. Looking around, the ones that appear to be actively developed are MQTT, Kafka (so your existing applications that use Kafka can also use Pulsar), AMQP, and JMS.
  • Mosquitto: An open-source MQTT broker

    If you need a highly available broker you can consider https://github.com/streamnative/mop which adds a MQTT protocol handler to Apache Pulsar.

    I recently contributed auth support and TLS support also just landed.
