Examples

Clusters

Aedes needs on disk dbs like MongoDB and Redis in order to work with clusters. Based on our tests and users reports the best performances/stability are reached when using aedes-persistence-mongodb paired with mqemitter-redis.

Other info:

  • The repo aedes-tests is used to test aedes with clusters and different emitters/persistences. Check its source code to have a starting point on how to work with clusters

Bridge connections

Normally, when publishing a message, the retain flag is consumed by Aedes and then set to false. This is done for two reasons:

  • MQTT-3.3.1-9 states that it MUST set the RETAIN flag to 0 when a PUBLISH Packet is sent to a Client because it matches an established subscription regardless of how the flag was set in the message it received.
  • When operating as a cluster, only one Aedes node may store the packet

Brokers that support the Bridge Protocol can connect to Aedes. When connecting with this special protocol, subscriptions work as usual except that the retain flag in the packet is propagated as-is.

Acknowledgements

This library is born after a lot of discussion with all Mosca users and how that was deployed in production. This addresses your concerns about performance and stability.

Mosca vs Aedes

Example benchmark test with 1000 clients sending 5000 QoS 1 messsages. Used mqtt-benchmark with command:

mqtt-benchmark --broker tcp://localhost:1883 --clients 1000 --qos 1 --count 5000
