HiveMQ

HiveMQ is an enterprise MQTT broker and IoT connectivity platform that provides reliable, scalable bidirectional messaging between connected devices and back-end systems using the MQTT protocol. It supports MQTT 3, MQTT 5, MQTT over WebSocket, clustering, multi-cloud deployments, and an extensible enterprise extension framework for security, data routing, and stream processing through HiveMQ Data Hub. HiveMQ exposes a REST API (OpenAPI 3.0) for broker administration, client management, backups, trace recordings, and Data Hub policy management.

HiveMQ publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including MQTT over WebSocket, Data Hub API, Management API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include MQTT, IoT, Messaging, Message Broker, and Pub Sub.

The HiveMQ catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

HiveMQ’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, signup flow, GitHub presence, engineering blog, and 9 more developer resources.
