HiveMQ Platform Overview

The HiveMQ Platform combines data streaming, data intelligence, and agentic AI in a single management console. Use the platform to deploy, monitor, and operate your entire IoT network, from a central broker to devices at the edge.

The platform supports both HiveMQ Cloud broker deployments and HiveMQ Enterprise MQTT Brokers that you deploy from HiveMQ software.

How the Platform Works

The capabilities of the HiveMQ Platform are organized into five layers, with an AI assistant that spans all layers. Each layer builds on the data that the previous layer provides:

  • Explore - Start Each Session With Insights and Suggested Actions

    Explore is the home page of the platform and provides paths to all other layers. On Explore, you see personalized AI insights and recommended actions based on the current state of your network. Use this layer at the start of each session to review your insights and to choose your next step.
    For more information, see Explore.

  • Connect - Get Your Data Flowing

    Connect is the data streaming layer of the platform. On Connect, you register, deploy, and manage MQTT brokers and HiveMQ Edge instances across your network. Use this layer to get data flowing between your devices and apps.
    For more information, see Connect.

  • Contextualize - Give Your Data Meaning

    Contextualize is the data intelligence layer for your Unified Namespace (UNS). On Contextualize, you discover data streams and build your UNS. Use this layer to turn raw MQTT topics into a governed, structured namespace.
    For more information, see Contextualize.

  • Analyze - Check the Health of Your Data

    Analyze is the data intelligence layer for operational health. On Analyze, you monitor data health and manage deviations across your UNS. Use this layer to establish confidence in the trustworthiness of your data.
    For more information, see Analyze.

  • Act - Automate with AI Agents

    Act is the agentic AI layer of the platform (*currently available as a public preview*). On Act, you build and deploy AI agents that act on your real-time IoT data. Use this layer to let AI agents take autonomous action on your trusted data.
    For more information, see Act.

Bea - Access AI Assistance Everywhere in the Platform
