Description of Eclipse Mosquitto

Mosquitto is one of the most popular MQTT Message Brokers and highly suitable for a broad range of application areas in the Internet of Things and beyond. Mosquitto is lightweight and is suitable for use on all devices from low power single board computers to full servers. It connects data sources and sinks directing data streams fast and lightweight. For instance, every German ICE uses a Mosquitto Broker for message communication in the train as well as to the control center. The MQTT protocol provides a lightweight method of carrying out messaging using a publish/subscribe model. This makes it suitable for Internet of Things messaging such as with low power sensors or mobile devices such as phones, embedded computers, or microcontrollers.

A solid MQTT server which offers many useful functionalities

It's open source, it supports multiple protocols and has good documentation. The broker could be configured easier, but I like the way it is right now. I used Mosquitto with Raspberry Pi as an IoT gateway that publishes sensor data to other systems (Web, mobile phone). I like that it has some great features, such as support for encryption (which helps secure data), SSL/TLS connections, authentication methods, etc. It's not bad at all - but maybe there are better options out there? We needed…
