Mqtt Broker for 10 Years▲15
Intended for 10-year (plus hopefully) deployment lifetime on $10-30 of silicon. The kind of thing you screw to a wall, plug in, and walk away from for a decade. No telemetry, no phone-home updates, no external dependencies. Storage decisions get a sanity checked against NVS wear... a write-per-PUBLISH would shred the flash in months, so the retained store and in tables that stay in PSRAM. Its heavily written with AI and borrowed a lot of visuals from Tasmota. Not for production use yet (been currently running it for a month with great results!)

LavinMQ, an open-source message broker written in Crystal▲16
Hi HN. I'm Carl, creator of LavinMQ. LavinMQ is an open-source message broker. AMQP 0-9-1, MQTT, HTTP and streaming. Single binary, minimal resource use. If you know RabbitMQ, it's that (but running on a fraction of hardware). We're the team behind CloudAMQP where we've hosted RabbitMQ for 14 years. Sometimes customers hit issues we couldn't fully explain / work around. So we built our own broker, in order to provide solutions where we previously couldn't (which is much easier when you control the full stack). It all started by me building an open-source AMQP proxy to handle short-lived…

In that time I've done a lot of things, all Dev related but ultimately most of my career was spent working on platforms for consumer products. After many attempts I've decided the path forward is to focus on building something that solves my own problem. Micro Chat is a solution to some of the social media problems I've been having. What I've been looking for most of my life is a community. A place to belong. I scoured the internet for that with…
