CoreMQ - Cloud-native MQTT Broker for Kubernetes

CoreMQ is a secure, cloud-native MQTT broker built for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). It gives IoT teams, developers, platform engineers, and system integrators a reliable messaging layer for connected devices and distributed applications—without forcing them to assemble critical security, clustering, and operational capabilities from scratch. Key features • Cloud-native Kubernetes deployment – Run CoreMQ in your own AKS environment using a purpose-built Kubernetes package. • Secure MQTT connectivity – Support MQTT and MQTTS endpoints with customer-supplied TLS certificates. • Granular access control – Manage users, roles, and publish/subscribe policies for devices, applications, and teams. • Highly available messaging – Multiple broker replicas share configuration and relay messages through the cluster backplane so clients connected to different nodes can communicate reliably. • Browser-based administration – Configure and operate CoreMQ through an accessible web administration experience. • Production-ready operations – Use health probes, rolling updates, disruption protection, topology spreading, resource controls, and optional horizontal autoscaling. • Flexible integration – Connect CoreMQ to PostgreSQL, Redis, DNS, certificates, networking, and the AKS capacity selected for your environment. Business outcomes • Accelerate delivery of IoT and event-driven solutions. • Reduce the complexity of securing and operating MQTT infrastructure. • Scale broker capacity with Kubernetes as workloads grow. • Keep deployment and operational control inside your Azure environment. • Use predictable software pricing based on running broker pods. Built for real-world IoT workloads CoreMQ addresses common challenges including unreliable connectivity, fragmented access controls, cross-node messaging, certificate management, and operational overhead. It is suited to industrial automation, smart buildings, logistics, connected products, healthcare technology, and other systems that depend on secure, real-time communication. Simple hourly pricing CoreMQ is billed at $0.19 per running broker pod per hour. A recommended two-replica deployment is $0.38 per hour, excluding Azure infrastructure and managed-service charges. Deploy CoreMQ on AKS and start building secure, scalable MQTT solutions in your own Azure environment.
