MQTT Event Bridge
The @purista/mqttbridge package integrates MQTT v5 brokers with PURISTA routing semantics.
Delivery semantics
Delivery behavior depends on your MQTT QoS and retention/session settings:
- QoS 0: at-most-once
- QoS 1: at-least-once
- QoS 2: exactly-once on broker/client protocol level (application side effects still must be idempotent)
Durability and replay are broker- and topic-config dependent.
Stream support
PURISTA stream runtime (openStream) is currently not implemented for MQTT bridge.
Topic strategy
PURISTA composes topics from message metadata (type, sender, receiver, tenant/principal, event). Keep prefixes/QoS consistent across all instances.
Reliability recommendations
- choose QoS per traffic class (
commandvs event/subscription) - align expiry and timeout values intentionally
- use shared subscriptions carefully for scale-out consumers
- test reconnect and retained-session behavior in integration tests
