A big reason we chose HiveMQ is that we can run HiveMQ everywhere: AWS, Google, Azure, really on any cloud or on-premise. We can run HiveMQ on top of OpenShift or Kubernetes. There is no vendor lock-in with HiveMQ and we aren’t forced to send our data to a single vendor’s platform. The ability to run HiveMQ on-premise or on customer-provided infrastructure is also an important requirement. HiveMQ gives us this freedom.
