Oracle IoT Cloud Service and MQTT support

MQTT Protocol Support for communication with devices

MQTT is a lightweight messaging protocol for device-to-cloud communication.

It is based on the Publish-Subscribe model, making it ideal for applications that are sensitive to communication latency and unreliable networks.

Oracle Internet of Things Cloud Service  rel. 16.3.3 has introduced support for ingesting data directly over the MQTT protocol (secure MQTT only) from devices and gateways using an MQTT bridge.

The important thing for developers is that this new protocol support does not introduce any additional client-side API changes. Existing device and gateway applications can switch to using MQTT by following a set of configuration steps to use MQTT instead of HTTP.

More information on how to set up MQTT support is available here.
