Thalamus

An opinionated application messaging framework based on MQTT.

Differences from plain MQTT

+ RPC support
+ Server redundancy / load-balancing
- Guaranteed delivery (MQTT QoS 1 / 2)

Messages requiring acknowledgement must use RPC and applications are expected to implement their own retry mechanisms.
