MQTT is an important technology powering the Internet of Things (IoT). This article explores seven MQTT technology trends that are shaping the future of IoT, such as MQTT 5.0, edge computing, security, and Quality of Service (QoS). MQTT 5.0 introduces several new features, including the ability to send structured data, bi-directional communication, mutual authentication, and end-to-end encryption. Additionally, MQTT is ideal for edge computing because it is lightweight and easy to implement on resource-constrained devices.
