# Learn MQTT with Go

Learning MQTT with Golang by doing. This repo is a simple example of using a Golang application as a client (pub & sub) of an MQTT broker.


## Development

For local development we use [Mosquitto](https://mosquitto.org/) as our MQTT broker, with TLS enabled. 

First generate local development certs using:

```
make gen-local-tls-certs
```

This will create CA, server, and client certificates suitable for local development. Server and CA certs are created in `./.mosquitto/certs`. The client cert is create in the project root. 

Start the local development environment with:

```
make start-dev
```

Stop the local development environment with:

```
make stop-dev
```

## Usage
