Funny, the IoT space has bought into MQTT but the general internet space has not.
MQTT scales and works. And it's easy, fast, and small.
I've been trying to get our guys to do MQTT-based pub/sub, and they're rather do their own thing with web sockets because MQTT is scary. <shrug>.
That's the problem when front-end guys make decisions about tech sometimes, they choose stuff that seems easy to integrate without caring about things like deployment, scalability, capabilities, etc.
- manv1 4y agoI mean, it'd be trivial to write stream replay for MQTT. It's literally just stashing messages and sending them back on connect. Not sure what the issue is there.
- Scottopherson 4y agoJeez that's a big paint brush you're slinging around. That's the problem when non-front-end guys make decisions about tech sometimes, they choose stuff that seems easy to integrate without caring about things like accessibility, design scalability, client device capabilities, etc.
- nine_k 4y agoHow does a wire protocol relate to UX concerns like accessibility or design scalability? Client device capabilities are there, MQTT is neither rocket science nor a resource hog, since it was designed for underpowered IoT devices.
