EMQX 6.1.0 Released: Replayable MQTT Streams and Advanced Multi-Tenancy → Tired of the Data Integration Maze?
Complex Architecture
Juggling between your MQTT broker and a separate database service increases complexity and maintenance overhead.
High TCO
Managing multiple vendors, separate bills, and complex security policies leads to a higher Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Delayed Time-to-Market
The extra work of evaluating, integrating, and maintaining a third-party data service slows down your project development.
Disconnected Experience
Constant context switching between different management consoles for your broker and database fragments your workflow.
Simplify Your IoT Stack, Instantly.
EMQX Tables eliminates the need for a separate database solution, providing a unified data flow from ingestion to query, all within one platform.
The Complex Approach
Multiple Vendors & Bills
Complex Network & Security
High Maintenance Overhead
One Platform, Endless Possibilities.
Seamless Integration
Ingest data directly from MQTT topics via rules or direct sinks. No code, no fuss.
Purpose-Built for IoT
High-ingestion writes and schema-on-the-fly perfectly handle the unstructured and evolving nature of IoT data streams.
Simplified Operations
As a fully-managed service, we handle the scaling, maintenance, and infrastructure, so you can focus on your data.
Reduced TCO
A single vendor means a single bill. Optimize costs with time-based data retention and downsampling policies.
Powerful Query & Integration
Use SQL, PromQL, or the InfluxDB Line Protocol. Natively connect with Grafana, Metabase, and other BI tools for powerful visualization.
Unified Experience
Manage your broker and database from the same control plane with a unified security model.
Get Started in 3 Simple Steps.
Ingest
Publish device telemetry to EMQX topics. Select topics in Rule Engine.
Store
Use the Rule Engine or a direct data sink to specify which MQTT topics should be persisted. The schema is inferred automatically.
Query & Visualize
Connect your favorite tools (like Grafana) or use SQL to immediately query and analyze your time-series data.
Step 2 of 0
Unlock Your IoT Data Potential.
Real-time Device Monitoring
Build dashboards to track the status and performance of your entire fleet of IoT devices in real-time.
Industrial IoT (IIoT) Analytics
Analyze sensor data from production lines to predict maintenance needs and optimize operational efficiency.
Connected Vehicle Telemetry
Ingest and query massive volumes of location, speed, and diagnostics data from connected vehicles for fleet management and user behavior analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
EMQX Tables is a fully-managed, time-series data service natively integrated into EMQX Broker. It is purpose-built to handle the high-volume, high-frequency data typical of IoT and connected device scenarios. It allows you to ingest, store, and query your data all within a single, unified platform.
It's designed for IoT developers, solution architects, and data engineers who want to simplify their data stack. If you are using EMQX Broker on EMQX Cloud and need an efficient, scalable, and easy-to-use database for your time-series data without the headache of managing a separate service, EMQX Tables is for you.
The key difference is seamless integration. While standalone databases are powerful, they require you to manage a separate service, handle complex data integration pipelines, deal with different security models, and pay a separate bill. EMQX Tables is built-in, eliminating all that complexity. Data flows directly from your MQTT topics to the database, managed from one console, under one vendor.
No. EMQX Tables is a fully-managed service. We handle all the operational overhead, including infrastructure provisioning, scaling, software updates, and backups. You can focus entirely on leveraging your data, not managing a database.
Ingestion is seamless. You can use the EMQX Broker's Rule Engine to specify exactly which MQTT topics should be persisted into EMQX Tables. The service also supports direct data sinks for high-performance ingestion. Best of all, it features "schema-on-the-fly," which automatically infers the data structure from your JSON payloads, saving you significant setup time.
EMQX Tables provides flexible query options to suit your needs. It offers a powerful SQL interface for complex queries and analysis. For broader compatibility, it also supports PromQL, InfluxDB Line Protocol, making it easy to integrate with existing tools and workflows.
You can easily connect your favorite business intelligence (BI) and visualization tools. EMQX Tables has out-of-the-box compatibility with popular platforms like Grafana and Metabase, allowing you to build real-time dashboards and monitoring views with just a few clicks.
EMQX Tables is billed as part of your EMQX Cloud subscription, providing a single, consolidated bill. This simplifies your accounting and reduces your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by eliminating the need for a separate database vendor contract. Pricing is designed to be cost-effective and based on your usage.
