## What it is
Magistrala is an open-source, multi-tenant IoT platform framework written in Go that provides device management, messaging, identity, and access control on top of the FluxMQ message broker. It supports MQTT, HTTP, CoAP, and WebSocket connectivity, with a rules engine, dashboards, and alarms for building complete IoT solutions.

## Use cases
- connect and manage IoT devices over MQTT
- build a self-hosted IoT platform
- ingest sensor telemetry from edge devices
- manage device identity and access control
- build smart metering dashboards and alarms
- route device messages with a rules engine
- multi-tenant IoT device provisioning

## When to choose
- you need a full open-source IoT platform with device management, messaging, and auth in one stack
- you want multi-protocol device connectivity (MQTT, CoAP, HTTP, WebSocket)
- you need fine-grained, multi-tenant access control for devices and users
- you want to self-host and keep full control of your IoT data

## When to avoid
- you only need a bare MQTT broker without device management or platform features (use FluxMQ or Mosquitto)
- your project is a simple single-device hobby setup where a full platform is overkill
- you need a managed SaaS IoT service with zero infrastructure to run

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
