You get an endpoint and credentials; we run the broker. ### Private by default Every customer gets an isolated broker instance. Your topics are never shared with strangers. ### Secure connections TLS and secure WebSockets, username/password authentication and per-topic access control. ### Standard MQTT MQTT 3.1.1 and MQTT 5 over TCP, TLS and WebSockets.
