How We Built a Smarter MQTT System for the Future of Wi-Fi Sensing
Wi-Fi Sensing is changing the way we understand motion inside homes and buildings — from enabling security systems that detect presence without cameras to powering health and wellness applications that can monitor daily activity patterns. But none of this works...
How We Built a Smarter MQTT System for the Future of Wi-Fi Sensing
As Wi-Fi Sensing grows in complexity and scale, its backend infrastructure must evolve to keep pace. By shifting from traditional clustering to message bus partitioning (sharding), performance bottlenecks were reduced, reliability improved, and a scalable, cost-effective cloud system was developed to handle real-time data from thousands of devices. The blog also explains how smart routing, sticky sessions, and dynamic scaling work together to maintain fast, stable motion detection that can grow with increasing demand.
