MQTT - Publish / subscribe messaging protocol
• Built on top of TCP/IP for constrained devices and unreliable networks
• Many (open source) broker implementations
• Many client libraries
• IoT-specific features for bad network / connectivity
• Widely used (mostly IoT, but also web and mobile apps via MQTT over WebSockets)

MQTT Trade-Offs
Pros
• Lightweight
• Simple API
• Built for poor connectivity / high latency scenario
• Many client connections (tens of thousands per MQTT server)
Cons
• Queuing, not stream processing
• Can’t handle usage surges (no buffering)
• No high scalability (true for most MQTT brokers)
• Very asynchronous processing (often offline for long time)
• No good integration to the rest of the enterprise
• No reprocessing of events

Kafka Trade-Offs (from IoT perspective)
Pros
• Stream processing, not just queuing
• High throughput
• Large scale
• High availability
• Long term storage and buffering
• Reprocessing of events
• Good integration to the rest of the enterprise
Cons
• Not built for tens of thousands connections
• Requires stable network and good infrastructure
• No IoT-specific features like keep alive, last will or testament

TensorFlow
TensorFlow is an open source software library for high
performance numerical computation. Its flexible architecture
allows easy deployment of computation across a variety of
platforms (CPUs, GPUs, TPUs), and from desktops to clusters of
servers to mobile and edge devices. Originally developed by
researchers and engineers from the Google Brain team within
Google’s AI organization, it comes with strong support for
machine learning and deep learning and the flexible
numerical computation core is used across many other scientific
domains.

• Simple and understood
• HTTP(S) Proxy à Push-based
• Security ”easier”
• Scalable with standard load balancer
(still synchronous HTTP)
• Not for very high throughput
• Implement Kafka Connect features in
