Our colleagues at CloudMQTT have made the difficult decision to discontinue their MQTT service offerings. They plan to cease sales of their services from May 1, 2024, and will fully shut down operations by January 27, 2025.

If you are currently using CloudMQTT, you might be wondering what to do next. This is where Stackhero comes in. We are here to assist CloudMQTT customers in finding a new home for MQTT needs with our Mosquitto service, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free transition.

What is Mosquitto?

Mosquitto is a leading choice for MQTT services. This open-source, reliable server has become the go-to for businesses needing to manage many MQTT clients seamlessly. Mosquitto is trusted, powerful, and can handle numerous users simultaneously.

The CloudMQTT solution was powered by Mosquitto. Similarly, Stackhero chose Mosquitto to power its MQTT solution many years ago.

What is Stackhero?

Stackhero was launched in 2017, backed by its parent company founded in 2009. As a European company, we offer over 20 different managed services, including Node-RED, RabbitMQ, InfluxDB, PostgreSQL, Grafana, and more. We take privacy and security seriously, meeting Europe's GDPR standards and holding an ISO 27001 certification to ensure top-notch IT security. Our services are available worldwide, thanks to our own cloud solution running on servers located in Europe and the USA.

Stackhero's Mosquitto service

Stackhero has been providing its managed Mosquitto solution since 2020. This solution is designed to have a production environment operational in just 2 minutes.

Once initiated, you will have access to a fully dedicated Mosquitto server, featuring TLS encryption (also known as SSL), user management, and additional features.

You can create login/password pairs for client authentication directly through the configuration interface. For advanced users managing many clients, an external API can be utilized, allowing you to manage thousands of connected clients effortlessly without compromising security. This solution also includes advanced ACL management on topics, users, and actions.

Each plan available on Stackhero provides a maximum number of simultaneous connections. Beyond this configuration, there are no limits: your Mosquitto can process an unlimited number of messages, network transfers are unlimited, and the number of authenticated clients is also unlimited thanks to the external API.

Security and performance are crucial in cloud solutions. Stackhero has raised these standards even higher: each Mosquitto service runs on a completely private and dedicated VM, representing the best the market has to offer. Additionally, Stackhero is certified ISO 27001, the leading worldwide IT security certification. And because we truly value security and uptime, we offer a 99.9% SLA, as guaranteed by our terms.

Running a Mosquitto server in production is excellent, but maintaining it over the long term is even better. To achieve this, we publish updates when necessary, keeping your service efficient and secure. When an update is available, you will receive a notification and can apply it with just a click in the Stackhero dashboard.

We believe in transparent and fair pricing. Unlike many cloud providers, with Stackhero, there are no surprises: no hidden fees, no required commitments, and you know exactly how much you will pay before starting a service. When you decide to stop the service, billing ceases immediately. Each month, you will receive a clear and detailed invoice.

Rather than lengthy explanations, the best way to see how Stackhero and Mosquitto can assist you is to try it. To facilitate this, we offer a free trial so you can set up a Mosquitto server, test it, and see how well it meets your needs, completely free of charge!
