DESCRIPTION

In today’s mobile world, the volume of connected devices and data is growing at a rapid pace. As more and more “things” become part of the Internet (refrigerators, pacemakers, cows?), the importance of scalable, reliable and efficient messaging becomes paramount. In this talk we will dive into MQTT: a lightweight, open standard publish/subscribe protocol for rapid messaging between “things”. MQTT is simple to understand, yet robust enough to support interactions between millions of devices and users. MQTT is being used in connected car applications, mobile banking, Facebook Messenger, and many things in between. In this talk you will learn all about the protocol (in 10 minutes!) and see some of its applications: live-tracking, gaming, and more. We’ll walk through designing an MQTT-based API for a ride-share mobile application, and discuss how MQTT and REST APIs can complement each other.

For Mobile and IoT… messaging (often is) > HTTP request/response

IoT scenarios bring new challenges- Requires a real-time, event-driven model - Publishing information one-to-many - Listening for events as they happen - Sending small packets of data from small devices - Reliably pushing data over unreliable networks

MQTT security

MQTT!Broker

CONNECT with username / password

SSL/TLS TCP/IP

- MQTT spec doesn’t define security model aside from username/password authorization on connection

- Brokers *can* implement support for SSL/TLS and policies for connection and messaging

ex. organize topic space by “group” username associated with a group

bboyd is in group “IBM” and can pub/sub IBM/bboyd/#

PickMeUp big ideas

- Publish a retained “presence message” on connect, use last will and testament (LWT) to clear !

- Use retained messages if you want late-joining subscribers to get data instantly (ex. driver position, requests)

!

- Set up a topic space friendly to wildcards (ex. <app>/<type>/<id>/<field>) !

- QoS 0 = information updates, chat (things we can lose) - QoS 1 = requests, request accepts (important, but client can handle dups) - QoS 2 = inbox messages, payment (important, duplicates problematic)

MQTT what can REST do?

Managing an MQTT service- clientId registration - dynamic policy configuration - obtain MQTT username/password

from client credentials (OAUTH) - expose monitoring data

REST interface to MQTT- POST —> CONNECT + PUBLISH

Realtime apps with history API for views of realtime data- Server application collects data from

MQTT client subscription

- GET —> CONNECT + SUBSCRIBE

- Managed APIs to request historical views of data, min/max/avg, etc.

- Client app GETs historical data, appends realtime MQTT feed

- (chat rooms, live race tracking)
