Zaiming Shi is the CTO of EMQX. He is a dedicated developer with a passion for distributed Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) messaging systems. Together with the EMQX Stockholm R&D team, he is working to make EMQX the best MQTT broker available. We asked Zaiming about EMQX, and how the company is leveraging Packagecloud to deliver efficiencies.

How we are using Packagecloud
EMQ is hosting our binary packages in Packagecloud, including EMQX Open Source edition, EMQX Enterprise Edition and NanoMQ.
We are looking forward to the new features yet to come, including package security vulnerability scanning automation, docker image hosting (and maybe other features we don’t know yet)
We are impressed by your team from below aspects:
-
Professionalism, you guys know the requirements before we knew we needed them, for example, security scan
-
Smooth integration, we haven’t had any trouble uploading the packages
-
Impressive up-time, we haven’t experienced a single downtime
To fellow developers
Relax, let the professionals take care of your packages.
It is true that there are free tools, as well as licensed software for you to host the package repos yourself, nobody stops you from doing that. But you must take operational costs into account.
Try to ask yourself a few ops questions before running your own repos:
- What happens if my service runs out of disk space?
- What if I have a million packages to index?
- What if issues happen in the middle of the night?
Message to Packagecloud
We’d like to thank you for your great work. Keep up with the great stats and continue innovating!
