Connecting IoT Devices with LavinMQ – Hands-On Workshop
2025-10-31 , Tutorial Room

This workshop will introduce you to LavinMQ, a fast and lightweight message broker, and demonstrate its application in IoT systems. You will learn how to connect IoT devices to the LavinMQ instance, publish messages, process messages with consumers, and scale their consumers reliably.


In this workshop you will learn how to connect an IoT device to publish messages. Understand what LavinMQ is and why it’s valuable in IoT environments. Create a LavinMQ instance on CloudAMQP. Write a consumer to process messages. Scale consumers and test reliability. Lovisa will not be the one holding it. It will be Christina Dahlén and Erica Weistrand.

I'm Christina Dahlén, developer and area lead at 84codes. I specialize in AMQP message brokers and spend most of my time writing code for the LavinMQ project—mainly low-level backend stuff—with a focus on performance and efficiency. I think LavinMQ is a really solid, innovative tool that stands out from what’s available today. It brings something new to the table, and I’d love to see more people explore what it can do and how it can improve the way systems are built. I'm all about sharing knowledge and resources to help others get started and feel confident using these technologies.
