Performance-focused broker design
From 2 comments
It's great to see a message broker that's optimised for performance - having looked at the source of a few of the more popular brokers it's clear that there's a lot of overhead…
chris_overseas on HNThis is very useful if it's faster than the competition. MQTT is one of those things that's so useful that you tend to overuse it, and extra speed/reliability on the broker is…

I'm really excited about this. It's by the creator of uWebSockets[0], alexhultman[1]. It looks like it builds heavily on his work there. Based on the performance compared to…

Lack of documentation

chris_overseas on HNHave you also compared with NATS?

stock_toaster on HNNice work! I'd be curious to see a comparison w/ RabbitMQ's MQTT extension. By any chance have you done such a comparison? Also I assume the comparisons are done at QOS level 0?

Support MQTT-SN for lightweight clients
From 1 comment
Are you considering support for MQTT-SN, or willing to take pull requests to support it? The ability to handle lightweight clients could be a very important differentiator.

Questions
Does it scale horizontally or only on one machine?
From 1 comment
Does it scale horizontally or it is bound to a single machine?

What makes it faster than alternatives?
From 2 comments
Do you know why/how is it faster than say RabbitMQ? Is it some tradeoff in features for instance?
d0m on HNIs there some information on what makes this faster than the alternatives ?

Mosquitto
