ClearBlade, a leading provider in Edge AI and connected Digital Twins, has introduced its latest innovation – the MQTT-to-Database Connector. This groundbreaking feature allows enterprises to seamlessly stream device data into their preferred databases without writing any custom code.
The newly launched connector offers a straightforward, configuration-only approach to route MQTT messages into a myriad of external data systems. This includes popular platforms such as Google BigQuery, CloudSQL, Postgres, SQL Server, MongoDB, CouchDB, MySQL, Oracle, Redshift, and MariaDB. By converting MQTT topics into instantly bindable data sinks, organizations can transition from ‘device to database’ in mere minutes, a process that previously took weeks.
A Native, No-Code Path from MQTT to Any Database
The MQTT-to-Database Connector enhances ClearBlade’s current library of database integrations by enabling any supported database connector to function as an MQTT endpoint. Through ClearBlade’s native binding, teams can link incoming MQTT topics to database collections, tables, or objects without the need for service coding, custom logic, or integration scaffolding.
High-Performance Batching for Massive Device Fleets
Designed to support large-scale device deployments, which can encompass tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of devices, the connector includes a new batching layer. This layer is engineered to significantly boost throughput and system performance.
Key batching features include:
– Batch-write messaging: Groups incoming messages before insertion.
– Configurable batch sizes: Allows tuning performance for varying workloads.
– Stream-then-write behavior: Facilitates real-time ingestion while optimizing downstream writes.
Instead of processing every message individually, which can strain both databases and network infrastructure, the connector intelligently aggregates messages, writing them in efficient batches. Initial deployments have demonstrated remarkable performance gains, particularly for high-frequency telemetry streams essential for digital twins and AI inference.
Simplifying Enterprise Integration Across Clouds and Data Platforms
The connector also broadens ClearBlade’s cross-cloud flexibility, simplifying integration with leading hyperscaler services and third-party systems without additional engineering efforts. Enterprises can now directly link MQTT data to any database.
Built into the ClearBlade platform as a native feature, the MQTT-to-Database Connector provides:
– A generic MQTT-to-Database API for real-time streaming.
– No-code configuration via MQTT topic bindings.
– Compatibility with all existing ClearBlade database connectors.
– Massive scalability for high-volume device ecosystems.
Complementary Features and Availability
This new connector complements ClearBlade’s existing support for streaming- and file-based connectors. File-based ingestion efficiently accommodates modern cloud file storage and legacy FTP-based transmissions. Streaming covers cloud solutions like Pub/Sub, Kinesis, and EventHub, alongside open-source solutions such as Kafka and Pulsar.
The ClearBlade MQTT-to-Database Connector is now accessible to all ClearBlade Enterprise and Intelligent Assets customers. For enterprises looking to streamline their data streaming processes, ClearBlade offers a robust solution that reduces complexity and increases efficiency.
