VerneMQ
VerneMQ is a high-performance, distributed MQTT message broker designed for IoT and real-time communication applications. It supports the MQTT protocol (versions 3.1, 3.1.1, and 5.0) and provides features like clustering, scalability, and plugin extensibility for enterprise-grade deployments. It is built on Erlang/OTP, enabling fault tolerance and low-latency message delivery across large-scale networks.
Developers should learn VerneMQ when building IoT systems, real-time messaging platforms, or applications requiring reliable pub/sub communication, such as smart home devices, industrial monitoring, or telemetry data streams. It is particularly useful for scenarios demanding horizontal scalability, high availability, and integration with existing infrastructure through its plugin system, making it a robust choice for production environments.
