  They lost me at this header. MQTT was quite literally designed for satellite based communication. Its biggest strength is dealing with intermittent connections. If you’re going to fire and forget important data with MQTT you’re already using it wrong.

  If I have to book a call with an expert just to test…it’s a total waste of my time for both personal and enterprise. MQTT lives…old-ish, faithful and reliable. It’s easy to setup - personal and enterprise. It’s scalable. I can pub and sub…that’s all we’re asking of it.

  This feels like an AI-generated ad for Infinyon.

  My philosophy is to remove gratuitous abstractions. Years ago I used MQTT for almost everything. These days I use server sent events with http connected devices. For many IoT use-cases I find UDP broadcasts require far less overhead.

  I think that this article is just an advertisement for some shitty company that was generated by AI/chatgpt and co because it doesn't have any sense at all. For example:
