AegisGate – MQTT security proxy with rate limiting in Rust

AI Analysis

●●SolidNiche GemSlick

Slowloris protection and HTTP-detection for MQTT, but competing against Mosquitto acl and other MQTT brokers' built-in auth.

Strengths
  • Per-IP rate limiting with token bucket and protocol-aware timeout enforcement detect attacks before they reach broker.
  • Prometheus metrics and structured JSON logging provide real observability for MQTT traffic inspection.
  • Async Tokio architecture with zero-copy streaming handles concurrent connections efficiently at scale.
Weaknesses
  • Alpha quality (0.1.0) with unstable APIs limits production deployment confidence.
  • No support for MQTT 5.0, only 3.1/3.1.1, narrows adoption for modern deployments.
Target Audience

MQTT infrastructure teams, IoT platform operators, security-conscious DevOps engineers
