Taking Your MQTT Broker Global
The previous two chapters covered two fully functional prototype projects so that you can get hands-on experience on how to build IoT projects. So, what next?
Now that you have seen the potential of IoT and the hardware we used – the Raspberry Pi – you are ready to learn how to utilize these technologies best. In this chapter, we will talk about the MQTT broker that we have currently hosted on the Raspberry Pi. This gives us access to it within a local network only.
