Connectivity!  A key pillar of IoT. But what is the actual messenger using that connectivity?  We discuss the critical role of MQTT in IoT solutions as a network-agnostic protocol and messenger among IoT architecture elements, including devices, data services, analytics, and more.  Starting with a 101 on what it is and how it works, we delve further into some of its essential attributes, like quality of service and security, and examine how it compares to similar protocols.  We also touch on SparkPlug and its relationship with MQTT.  Finally, we overview some applications and how to get started applying MQTT.
