Mosquitto: MQTT API authentication in Node.js

This documentation is part of the API authentication guide. You can view the complete guide here: How to authenticate thousands of devices using an external API.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero provides you with a fully managed Mosquitto MQTT cloud environment, designed for reliability and flexibility:

• Unlimited message throughput and data transfers, so your workflows never encounter artificial limits.
• Unlimited device authentication via your own external API, making onboarding and access management straightforward.
• Advanced ACLs for precise control over topics, users, and actions.
• A custom domain name with integrated HTTPS for secure, branded endpoints (for example: https://mqtt.your-company.com).
• Effortless updates: apply improvements or security patches with a single click.
• Consistent performance and enhanced security, with every instance running on a private, dedicated infrastructure.

Accelerate your IoT projects and reduce operational overhead. You can have a secure, production-ready Mosquitto MQTT cloud hosting instance up and running in just a few minutes.

To demonstrate how external API authentication works in practice, we have created an example API server using Node.js. You can explore the complete repository here: https://github.com/stackhero-io/mosquittoGettingStarted.
