RMQTT is a scalable, distributed MQTT message broker written entirely in safe Rust, supporting MQTT v3.1/v3.1.1/v5.0 with millions of concurrent clients per node. It offers clustering, multiple auth mechanisms, bridging to Kafka/Pulsar/NATS, and extensible plugin support for IoT and M2M messaging.
Use cases
- run a self-hosted MQTT broker for IoT devices
- connect millions of concurrent IoT clients over MQTT
- bridge MQTT messages to Kafka or Pulsar
- set up a distributed MQTT cluster with high availability
- secure MQTT connections with JWT or HTTP-based authentication
- support MQTT over WebSocket and QUIC for mobile apps
When to choose
- you need a high-performance, Rust-based MQTT broker with clustering
- you want MQTT v5 features like shared subscriptions and delayed publish
- you need bridging between MQTT and streaming platforms like Kafka
- you prefer a fully open-source alternative under the MIT license
When to avoid
- you need a managed cloud MQTT service with vendor support
- your stack requires AMQP or STOMP protocols rather than MQTT
- you need a broker with a large third-party plugin ecosystem like EMQX or Mosquitto
