## Examples

- [Examples](./docs/Examples.md)

## Clusters

Aedes needs on disk dbs like MongoDB and Redis in order to work with clusters. Based on our tests and users reports the best performances/stability are reached when using [aedes-persistence-mongodb] paired with [mqemitter-redis].

Other info:

- The repo [aedes-tests](https://github.com/moscajs/aedes-tests) is used to test aedes with clusters and different emitters/persistences. Check its source code to have a starting point on how to work with clusters

## Bridge connections

Normally, when publishing a message, the `retain` flag is consumed by Aedes and
then set to `false`. This is done for two reasons:

- MQTT-3.3.1-9 states that it MUST set the RETAIN flag to 0 when a PUBLISH
Packet is sent to a Client because it matches an established subscription
regardless of how the flag was set in the message it received.
- When operating as a cluster, only one Aedes node may store the packet

Brokers that support the [Bridge Protocol][bridge_protocol] can connect to
Aedes. When connecting with this special protocol, subscriptions work as usual
except that the `retain` flag in the packet is propagated as-is.

## Acknowledgements

This library is born after a lot of discussion with all
[Mosca](http://www.npmjs.com/mosca) users and how that was deployed in
production. This addresses your concerns about performance and stability.

## Mosca vs Aedes

Example benchmark test with 1000 clients sending 5000 QoS 1 messsages. Used
[mqtt-benchmark] with command:

```sh
mqtt-benchmark --broker tcp://localhost:1883 --clients 1000 --qos 1 --count 5000
```

## Security notice

Messages sent to the broker are considered _valid_ once they pass the [`authorizePublish`](./docs/Aedes.md#handler-authorizepublish-client-packet-callback) callback.
In other terms, if permissions for the given client are revoked after the call completes, the message is still considered valid.
In case you are sending time-sensitive messages, make sure to use QoS 0 or connect with a clean session.

## Support

If there are bugs/leaks in production scenarios, we encourage people to send Pull Request and/or reach out maintainers for some paid support.
