This library is born after a lot of discussion with all Mosca users and how that was deployed in production. This addresses your concerns about performance and stability.

Mosca vs Aedes

Example benchmark test with 1000 clients sending 5000 QoS 1 messsages. Used mqtt-benchmark with command:

mqtt-benchmark --broker tcp://localhost:1883 --clients 1000 --qos 1 --count 5000
