Suporte à Federação de Brokers MQTV Via Microsserviços: gerenciamento dinâmico da topologia da federação

Abstract

Connecting and communicating everyday devices to the internet making them smart is the practice that is called the internet of things. As this area grows, along with it the need for reliable solutions for communication between these devices grows. Used for this purpose, the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is able to provide communication to these devices through the exchange of messages using a central server called broker. The use of only one server, as its simplest implementation proposes, does not offer as much reliability as it has a single point without fault tolerance, demanding that scalable and distributed solutions such as the federation of brokers MQTT be implemented. In this work, an approach to dynamically manage a federation of brokers will be proposed, adding functions not yet implemented such as the insertion of new brokers in the federation at runtime, in addition to handling in case of failure in one of the servers. To ensure greater flexibility and considering the addition of new features without causing such an impact on the initial solution, the proposed service will be developed using the microservices architecture.
