What is Pub/Sub Messaging

Real Example

ISO/OSI

Common Properties•Minimal Overhead (Low Bandwidth)

•Real-time (Low Latency)

•Push instead of Pull

•Reliable (even in Unreliable Networks)

Topic

• At least 1 character• May include spaces• Case-sensitive

Topic Filtration - Wildcards

Note: Cannot be used for Publish

Quality of ServiceQoS 0 | At most once

QoS 1 | At least once

QoS 2 | Exactly once

* Applies to MQTT protocol only, other protocols implement similar QoS options

Retained Messages• Last known good value for the specified topic

• Every time a new client subscribes to that specific topic, it will instantly receive the last retained message on that topic

• Any message may be send as retained

Last Will & Testament (LWT)• Defined at the connection to the broker

• When client disconnects unexpectedly, broker sends this message on clients behalf

Persistent Session• Broker stores session information including:

• All subscriptions of the client

• All QoS 1 / 2 messages which are not processed yet

• All QoS 1 / 2 messages the client missed while being offline

Bridge• Message forwarding

• Direction: in | out | both

• Broker behaves like a client to another broker

• Bridge handled by Broker, not by protocol

Security• Username / Password (ACL, DB, LDAP)

• SSL/TLS (X509), SASL

• OAuth 2, Kerberos, OpenID Connect, …

• Payload encryption/signing

MQTT• Easy and Lightweight

• Data agnostic (Message centric)

• Binary

• Open

AMQP• Queue Federation, Load Balancing, Advanced Security (SASL)

• ISO/IEC Standard

• PCI DSS Compatible (IT Audit)
