What is Raspberry Pi Server?
In device-to-device communication, the server (could be a Raspberry Pi) is a broker; while the clients (the edge-of-network devices) are the subscribers and publishers. To mediate the communication between the two devices, clients connect to the broker. Each device can subscribe to a particular topic. When another client publishes a message on a subscribed topic, the broker forwards the message to the clients that have subscribed.
Why Raspberry Pi Server?
A Raspberry Pi can do more than just the basics. You can run it as a server to make all the things interact with each other. Take a home IoT project as an example. Getting one or two devices to talk to each other is easy enough. But if you want to extend your IoT network with more devices, you will need an organized system to link everything together. Raspberry Pi Server can act as the heart of the IoT network, allowing quick and intermittent snippets of data between devices.
