Will it integrate directly with MQTT? Or should I use a MQTT broker and pipe into Iggy?

Iggy is different kind of message queue. This is what you would use instead of Kafka. There is no sink or source for MQTT out of the box.

For those confused about what Iggy is, the post appears to be written for the Iggy community.

Iggy is basically Kafka written in Rust that has yet to reach the distributed, clustered, fault tolerant stage. Looks cool for sure, but it has a ways to go.

There's an open PR to implement sink + source for MQTT https://github.com/apache/iggy/issues/3385

Also, since we've been asked about this a lot, there's a high chance, that we might implement MQTT Gateway, just like we currently do for Kafka (proxy on top, as a separate runtime).

Sort of, but anyone familiar with Kafka should feel like at home, although there a few subtle differences when it comes to the transport protocol, hierarchy etc. And VSR clustering is hopefully coming this week!

I always thought Im just not good enough to understand, hey Im just too dumb, surely there's people out there who understand what differentiates all these apache products! Nope never found one.

Don't worry about it, Apache is the hospice where software projects go to die.

There are roughly 400 projects on that page; about 90 are in the attic, meaning formally retired. Another 25 are incubating, and some of those look like they’re already dead; nobody has checked the pulse and filled out the paperwork yet.

A huge chunk of Apache is Java libraries.

Some projects are just academia doing academia things; they graduate, the original people move on, and the project dies. Others are corporate donations, including the occasional “we don’t want to play with this anymore; maybe Apache can keep it alive” project.

That being said, the incubator graduation rate is still roughly 75–80%.

How useful or alive those graduates are five or ten years later is a different question.

Saying Apache is where software go to die is just wrong.

What a crock of shite. Of course there's going to be some dead one when you have this many, but there are also projects that are foundational and many exciting new ones too: https://projects.apache.org/projects.html

I didn't agree with it but still laughed

That UI though... is it powered by Java?

Do you understand the difference between computer devices?

Do you understand the difference between pulsar and Kafka
