IronMQ vs Mosca: What are the differences?

Developers describe IronMQ as "Message Queue for any deployment". An easy-to-use highly available message queuing service. Built for distributed cloud applications with critical messaging needs. Provides on-demand message queuing with advanced features and cloud-optimized performance. On the other hand, Mosca is detailed as "A Node.js MQTT broker". A Node.js MQTT broker, which can be used as a Standalone Service or embedded in another Node.js application.

IronMQ and Mosca can be primarily classified as "Message Queue" tools.

Some of the features offered by IronMQ are:

  • Instant High Availability- Runs on top cloud infrastructures and uses multiple high-availability data centers. Uses reliable datastores for message durability and persistence.
  • Easy to Use- IronMQ is super easy to use. Simply connect directly to the API endpoints and you're ready to create and use queues. There are also client libraries available in any language you want – Ruby, Python, PHP, Java, .NET, Go, Node.JS, and more
  • Scalable / High Performance- Built using high-performance languages designed for concurrency and runs on industrial-strength clouds. Push messages and stream data at will without worrying about memory limits or adding more servers.

On the other hand, Mosca provides the following key features:

  • MQTT 3.1 and 3.1.1 compliant
  • QoS 0 and QoS 1
  • Various storage options for QoS 1 offline packets, and subscriptions

Mosca is an open source tool with 2.84K GitHub stars and 501 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Mosca's open source repository on GitHub.
