EP21: How to connect millions of devices every day with Dominik Obermaier from HiveMQ

In this episode of the Cloud Commute Podcast, Chris Engelbert talks with Dominik Obermaier, CTO and co-founder of HiveMQ. They delve into the technical aspects of MQTT, a lightweight communication protocol designed for the Internet of Things (IoT). Dominik explains how MQTT, an ISO standard, is ideal for connecting millions of devices due to its publish-subscribe architecture, resilience to disconnects, and efficient handling of low-bandwidth scenarios. They discuss HiveMQ's innovations in clustering and scaling MQTT for high-stakes applications, such as connected cars and industrial IoT, highlighting its role in mission-critical systems and large-scale deployments.
