Open Source MQTT Brokers - Leon Anavi, Konsulko Group

MQTT is a lightweight publish/subscribe machine-to-machine protocol with a reliable bi-directional communication in (near) real-time. The small footprint of client implementations allows running MQTT on devices with constrained hardware capabilities and makes it a commonly used solution for Internet of Things.

In this presentation Leon Anavi will provide a brief overview of the key features of MQTT, share his experience in using MQTT for home automation and compare various MQTT brokers. The presentation will reveal the specifications and provide guidelines for deployment on GNU/Linux distributions of popular open source MQTT brokers such as Mosquitto, HiveMQ, emqttd, RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, Mosca and others. Furthermore, we will also discuss open source libraries for integration of MQTT clients such as the Eclipse Paho project.
