👋 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.

Stackhero has offered a managed Mosquitto service since 2020, designed so you can launch a production-ready environment in under 2 minutes.

With every deployment, you receive a fully dedicated Mosquitto server with TLS (SSL) encryption, integrated user management, and advanced configuration options.

Authentication is flexible: you can set up login/password pairs directly in the dashboard, or leverage the external API to manage thousands of clients programmatically. This approach scales effortlessly while maintaining security. Advanced ACL features let you control permissions on topics, users, and actions at a granular level.

Each Stackhero plan includes a maximum number of simultaneous connections. Beyond this, there are no artificial limits: message volume, network traffic, and the number of authenticated clients (when using the external API) are all unlimited.

Security and performance are built in. Every Mosquitto instance runs on private, isolated infrastructure for maximum reliability. Our ISO 27001 certification demonstrates a commitment to security that meets international standards. A 99.9% SLA is included, as detailed in our terms, for peace of mind.

Ongoing maintenance is handled for you. Stackhero delivers timely updates to keep your Mosquitto server secure and efficient. When an update is ready, you receive a notification and can apply it with a single click in the dashboard.

Pricing is clear and predictable. With Stackhero, you avoid hidden costs and long-term commitments. Billing stops as soon as you end a service, and each invoice is transparent and itemized.

The best way to see how Stackhero and Mosquitto can fit your needs is to experience it yourself. You can start a free trial of our Mosquitto service and have a production-ready broker online in minutes. There is no cost and no risk.
