Managed MQTT Bridges for Mesh-Plug and IoT Projects
Running an MQTT broker should not be the hardest part of your project.
Our managed MQTT bridge service provides secure, reliable MQTT connectivity for WordPress, Mesh-Plug, Meshtastic networks, and custom IoT devices; without requiring you to host, configure, or maintain your own broker.
Whether you are visualizing mesh data on a WordPress site, experimenting with ESP32 sensors, or deploying a production IoT dashboard, this service removes the infrastructure friction and lets you focus on the data itself.
The Problem
MQTT is simple in theory. In practice, it breaks everywhere. TLS certificates expire. ACLs silently block traffic. WebSockets work locally and fail in production. Brokers fall over under real message volume. If you’ve ever said “it worked yesterday”, you already know the problem. Most MQTT hosting assumes you’re building a data center, not a product.
The Solution
MQTT infrastructure that’s already wired correctly The-Link-Builders provides managed MQTT brokers with secure defaults, predictable behavior, and WebSocket support; so you can focus on your application instead of your broker.
Built for Mesh-Plug. Great for Everything Else.
For Mesh-Plug users, we provide a purpose-built MQTT bridge that works out of the box with sensible defaults, secure connections, and Meshtastic-friendly topic handling.
For IoT developers and integrators, the same platform scales into general-purpose MQTT bridging suitable for custom firmware, prototypes, and production systems.
Made for developers who need solid MQTT:
Meshtastic & Mesh Network Operators
Reliable backhaul for community and off-grid mesh data.
WordPress & Web App Developers
Real-time dashboards without exposing broker credentials.
IoT & Sensor Projects
ESP32, LoRa, gateways, and collectors that cannot afford downtime.
Small Teams & Indie SaaS
Production-ready MQTT without hiring DevOps staff.
If MQTT is part of your system; this is for you.
You can start small and upgrade as needed.
What our service provides:
- Secure MQTT over TLS (8883)
- MQTT over WebSockets (9001) for browsers and dashboards
- Isolated brokers per project or customer
- Consistent authentication and ACL behavior
- Infrastructure designed for long-running, unattended systems
- No guesswork. No fragile configurations.
No VPS setup – No broker tuning – No certificate headaches.
MQTT for Experimenters and Professionals
This service is a good fit if you work with:
- ESP32 or ESP8266 devices
- SEEED Studio hardware
- Custom sensors and microcontrollers
- Meshtastic nodes and gateways
- MQTT-enabled firmware and prototypes
- Always-on payloads
- WordPress-based dashboards and data displays
What it does well:
- Handles hundreds to low-thousands of concurrent devices per node
- Designed for TLS-secured MQTT; not raw TCP benchmarks
- Optimized for IoT, dashboards, and automation
- Sub-100ms publish latency under normal load
- Graceful reconnects and persistent sessions
If you are comfortable writing firmware but tired of managing servers, this service fills that gap cleanly.
Start Small, Upgrade When You Need To!
Not every project needs production infrastructure on day one.
The-Link-Builders MQTT offers:
- MQTT for Mesh-Plug; a low-cost, opinionated option for Mesh-Plug users
- Managed MQTT Bridge plans; for custom topics, higher throughput, and production use
- Clear upgrade paths without reconfiguration or downtime
- Free MQTT-Plug Dashboard for WordPress – coming soon
Why not self-host MQTT?
Most people eventually stop wanting to.
Self-hosting works until you need:
- Certificate renewal at scale
- WebSocket proxying through NGINX
- Secure multi-tenant isolation
- Monitoring, recovery, and uptime guarantees
- Read more about this topic, sometimes self-hosting IS the right fit.
We built The-Link-Builders after solving these problems the hard way; and deciding not to solve them again.
