The better scalability and integrations make it a perfect alternative to Mosquitto. In this blog, we will provide a new solution to running MQTT on OpenWRT with NanoMQ. In the past, Mosquitto was the only choice of edge MQTT broker on OpenWRT.
With an MQTT broker set up in OpenWRT routers and operating as a local IoT server, it would unlock the edge computing capability and enable your own IoT applications. MQTT is the de facto standard protocol for IoT applications. For developers, it is easier and more friendly to build an application without building complete firmware around it. As a fully customizable operating system for wireless routers, OpenWRT frees you from the application selection and configuration without vendor lock-in. For decades, OpenWRT has remained the most popular Linux operating system targeting embedded devices.
