Overview

emqttd is a massively scalable and clusterable MQTT V3.1/V3.1.1 broker written in Erlang/OTP.

emqttd is fully open source and licensed under the Apache Version 2.0. emqttd implements both MQTT V3.1 and V3.1.1 protocol specifications, and supports WebSocket, STOMP, SockJS, CoAP and MQTT-SN at the same time.
