ActiveMQ MQTT Protocol Setup Guide: QoS, SSL, and IoT Scale

Apr 30, 2026 By meshIQ In meshIQ
Modern enterprise architectures increasingly need to bridge the gap between resource-constrained IoT devices and heavyweight enterprise backend systems. ActiveMQ MQTT support makes this possible: devices running the MQTT protocol - sensors, actuators, edge nodes, publish telemetry on standard topics, while JMS-based backend services consume and process the data without any client-code changes.

How to Test SQS Workflows Locally with LocalStack and OpenTelemetry

Apr 30, 2026 By Prathamesh Sonpatki In Last9
LocalStack lets you run SQS, Lambda, and S3 locally in Docker — but there's a hidden trap: OpenTelemetry's default AWS propagator doesn't work with free LocalStack. Here's how to set up end-to-end local testing with working trace propagation. Prathamesh works as an evangelist at Last9, runs SRE stories - where SRE and DevOps folks share their stories, and maintains o11y.wiki - a glossary of all terms related to observability.
