SuperMQ is modern, scalable, secure, open-source, and patent-free cloud platform for messaging and event-driven architecture (EDA) written in Go.
It accepts user and client (device, user, application) connections over various network protocols (i.e. HTTP, MQTT, WebSocket, CoAP), thus making a seamless bridge between them. It is used as the architecture backbone for building complex distributed solutions.
For more details, check out the official documentation. For extra bits and services see our contrib repository.
- Multi-protocol connectivity and bridging (HTTP, MQTT, WebSocket and CoAP; see contrib repository for LoRa and OPC UA)
- Device management and provisioning (Zero Touch provisioning)
- Mutual TLS Authentication (mTLS) using X.509 Certificates
- Fine-grained access control (policies, ABAC/RBAC)
- Message persistence (Timescale and PostgresSQL - see contrib repository for Cassandra, InfluxDB, and MongoDB support)
- Platform logging and instrumentation support (Prometheus and OpenTelemetry)
- Event sourcing
- Container-based deployment using Docker and Kubernetes
- Edge Agent and Export services for remote IoT gateway management and edge computing
- SDK
- CLI
- Small memory footprint and fast execution
- Domain-driven design architecture, high-quality code and test coverage
The following are needed to run SuperMQ:
- Docker (version 26.0.0)
Developing SuperMQ will also require:
Once the prerequisites are installed, execute the following commands from the project's root:
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml --env-file docker/.env -p git_github_com_absmach_supermq_git_ upThis will bring up the SuperMQ docker services and interconnect them. This command can also be executed using the project's included Makefile:
make runIf you want to run services from specific release checkout code from github and make sure that
SMQ_RELEASE_TAG in .env is being set to match the release version
git checkout tags/<release_number> -b <release_number>
# e.g. `git checkout tags/0.13.0 -b 0.13.0`Check that .env file contains:
SMQ_RELEASE_TAG=<release_number>
docker-composeshould be used for development and testing deployments. For production we suggest using Kubernetes.
The quickest way to start using SuperMQ is via the CLI. The latest version can be downloaded from the official releases page.
It can also be built and used from the project's root directory:
make cli
./build/cli versionAdditional details on using the CLI can be found in the CLI documentation.
