Using MQTT broker for an E-commerce mobile application?

[amir reza ramtin]

Hi,

We have made a decision to use a MQTT broker (for example emqtt) which connects mobile applications to the business logic server using MQTT protocol.

In fact, all operations such as loading products, searching, login and so forth are done by channels on which business server have subscribed.

I am not still positive about this decision. We mainly choose MQTT broker because it is appropriate for handling notifications.

However, considering that loading large data (such as products which include pictures and long texts) should be done by helping MQTT broker too,

I would personally think maybe it is better to use MQTT broker merely for notifications and restful web services for other operations such as loading data.

I would be really grateful if you help me solving this dilemma.

Maintaining states and sessions is probably not a good idea with a pub sub protocol. Also  a pub sub protocol shines when either ends of brokers do not (need not) 'know' each other.

Therefore, using pub sub for a shopping cart updates to relevant stake holders is ok. But, maintaining the life cycle of the cart is probably done best with a esb, etc.

Pardon brevity, typos and grammar mistakes. Sent from phone.

In fact, holding states or sessions is not my concern; my magor distress is loading large data from server to application.
