   Is there any lightweight #mqtt server which I can use on a production host? I don't need ultra-high scalability; I'll have less than a dozen clients, pretty low scale.

   I want to avoid rolling my own, but can't find anything lightweight and simple.

     @nobodyinperson mosquitto is too immature and full of bugs. Example: any time a client disconnects, its CPU usage jumps to 100% *forever* (see: https://github.com/eclipse-mosquitto/mosquitto/issues/2807 ). I can reproduce this 100% of the time; has this not been an issue for you, or do you just have a dedicated host for it?

     @whynothugo Is #mosquitto not lightweight enough? Have been using it for years on #RaspberryPi|s and it was never the bottleneck, even at high throughputs.
