rumqtt is a Rust ecosystem implementing the MQTT standard, consisting of rumqttc (a high-level async MQTT client) and rumqttd (a high-performance, embeddable MQTT broker). It aims to be simple, robust, and performant for IoT messaging workloads.

Use cases

• publish and subscribe to mqtt topics from rust
• run a lightweight mqtt broker for iot devices
• embed an mqtt broker inside a rust application
• connect sensors to a message broker over mqtt
• build an async mqtt client with tokio
• bridge iot telemetry over mqtt

When to choose

• you need an MQTT client or broker written in pure Rust
• you want an embeddable, high-performance broker without running EMQX or HiveMQ
• your stack is tokio-based async Rust
• you need MQTT for IoT device messaging

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured broker with clustering, rule engines, and dashboards at scale
• you need MQTT 5 features beyond rumqtt's current support
• your project is not in Rust and you only need a standalone broker with rich plugins
