Resource

EMQX Cloud resources are the key concept for Data Integrations. Most of the resources are the services provided by the cloud providers. Before starting, you need to ensure that the deployment status is running.

In Professional Plan and BYOC Plan, we provide all the resources. However, in a standard plan, only MQTT Bridge, Republish, Webhook, debug mode are available. Because other resources require a VPC peering and can only be connected through internal network.

TIP

Before adding a resource, you need to ensure that you have added VPC peering connection. Or you can open NAT Gateway to connect to the service without VPC peering.

Resource Browse Page

This is the browse page for all the resources that EMQX Cloud lists. The most commonly used types are Data Forwarding and Data Persisting. Like forwarding data to Kafka clusters or saving data into MongoDB. Select the item from the list of available resources to continue.
