MQTT in the Enterprise

Today we explore the use of MQTT in enterprise contexts, highlighting its popularity for IoT use cases due to features like low-bandwidth requirements and Last Will and Testament messages, which can automate responses to device outages. However, we also point out MQTT's limitations, such as the absence of common enterprise messaging features like message IDs and a standard client API, complicating its implementation in complex enterprise scenarios. We also advise enterprises to integrate MQTT with multi-protocol messaging brokers to address back-office integration needs and to carefully configure MQTT client sessions for success.
