Smart Data Hub is available as an add-on in the EMQX Dedicated and EMQX Premium plans. It is particularly beneficial for companies managing large-scale IoT data, dealing with complex data formats, or operating compliance-sensitive applications, particularly useful in industry like automotive, smart manufacturing, and others.
What's EMQX Platform Smart Data Hub and What Problems Does It Solve
EMQX Platform Smart Data Hub helps companies solve data consistency and compatibility challenges by providing a unified solution for managing MQTT data pipelines. It tackles key pain points such as:
- Maintaining data format consistency across different devices and systems
- Validating incoming data to prevent downstream processing issues
- Transforming messages to meet various backend system requirements
- Managing schemas across their entire IoT infrastructure
Main Features of EMQX Platform Smart Data Hub
Schema Registry: Centrally manage data schemas using industry-standard formats including JSON Schema, Protobuf, and Avro. This ensures consistency across the entire IoT data pipeline and provides a single source of truth for data structures.
Schema Validation: Automatically validate incoming MQTT messages against defined schemas to catch data format issues early, prevent invalid data from reaching downstream systems, monitor validation results in real-time, and track validation failures through comprehensive logging.
Message Transformation: Transform MQTT messages in real-time to match specific needs, including converting between different data formats, restructuring message content, and modifying message properties. It also offers a built-in testing tool to help testing transformation in real time.
