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.
