Mochi-MQTT is a fully compliant, embeddable MQTT v5 (and v3.1.1) broker written in Go, usable as a standalone binary or as a library inside your own applications. It targets telemetry, IoT, and smarthome pub/sub workloads with a hook-based plugin system and high performance.

Use cases

  • run an mqtt broker for iot devices
  • embed an mqtt server in my go application
  • pub/sub messaging for smarthome sensors
  • telemetry ingestion from constrained devices
  • mqtt v5 broker with shared subscriptions and topic aliases
  • bridge mqtt messages over tcp and websocket

When to choose

  • you need an MQTT v5-compliant broker in Go
  • you want to embed broker functionality directly in your application
  • you need hook/plugin extensibility or packet injection for custom auth and routing

When to avoid

  • you need a distributed, clustered broker like EMQX or VerneMQ at massive scale
  • you only need an MQTT client, not a server
