Mosquitto: CloudMQTT shutdown alternative

Seamlessly transition from CloudMQTT to Stackhero with managed Mosquitto services and robust security.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero gives you a fully managed Mosquitto MQTT cloud environment designed for reliability and flexibility:

• Unlimited message throughput and data transfers, so your workflows never hit artificial limits.
• Unlimited device authentication through your own external API, making onboarding and access management seamless.
• Advanced ACLs for fine-grained control over topics, users, and actions.
• A custom domain name with built-in HTTPS for secure, branded endpoints (for example: https://mqtt.your-company.com).
• Zero-hassle updates: apply improvements or security patches with a single click.
• Consistent performance and strong 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.

CloudMQTT will discontinue its MQTT services, ending new sales on May 1, 2024, and shutting down operations by January 27, 2025.

If you currently rely on CloudMQTT, you will need a new home for your MQTT workloads. Stackhero offers a straightforward migration path with our fully managed Mosquitto service, making the switch fast and reliable.
