A benchmarking tool for MQTT v3.1 servers covering a wide variety of common usage scenarios.
MQTT Benchmark is a performance testing tool specifically designed for MQTT v3.1 servers. It runs standardized benchmarks across multiple server implementations to measure and compare their performance under various usage scenarios. The tool helps identify performance bottlenecks and optimize MQTT infrastructure for IoT and messaging applications.
MQTT server administrators, IoT developers, and system architects who need to evaluate and compare the performance of different MQTT broker implementations.
It provides standardized, reproducible benchmarks across multiple MQTT servers, enabling objective performance comparisons without requiring users to build custom testing frameworks from scratch.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Supports popular MQTT servers like Apache ActiveMQ, Apollo, RabbitMQ, and HornetQ, enabling direct performance comparisons without custom setup.
Tested on Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, and OS X, ensuring reliable benchmarking across common server environments as noted in the README.
Stores benchmark results in organized directories (e.g., reports/$(hostname)), simplifying analysis and comparison.
Includes step-by-step instructions for running benchmarks on Amazon EC2 instances, such as using c1.xlarge, for cloud-based testing.
Only benchmarks MQTT v3.1, missing features and performance aspects of newer versions like MQTT v5, which limits modern IoT applications.
Excludes other widely-used MQTT servers such as EMQX or Mosquitto, restricting comprehensive comparisons beyond the listed few.
Requires command-line script execution and depends on older OS versions like Ubuntu 11.10, indicating potential maintenance issues and lack of automation.
