What is HiveMQ?
HiveMQ is an enterprise MQTT message broker platform built for connecting Internet of Things devices, industrial systems, and connected products at scale. Founded in Germany, the company provides a broker that fully supports the MQTT 3.1.1 and 5.0 protocols with a masterless cluster architecture for high availability. HiveMQ Data Hub adds policy based validation for incoming data, and enterprise extensions connect the broker to systems such as Apache Kafka and Snowflake.
HiveMQ is available as HiveMQ Cloud, a fully managed service with a free Serverless tier, and as self managed software that can run on premises or in any cloud environment. Self managed pricing starts at 299 dollars per month, and an open source Community Edition is also available under the Apache 2.0 license for smaller deployments and development.
