This marks the initial release of the ChirpStack MQTT Forwarder.
The ChirpStack MQTT Forwarder is a re-implementation of the ChirpStack Gateway Bridge for gateway installations only. The aim of this component is to provide a more lightweight solution, that also can be installed on gateways with a limited amount of memory (for example Dragino OpenWRT based gateways).
Thanks for the great work. I look forward to testing this on my gateways that aren’t memory-constrained, too.
Another notable difference is the smaller package size. The Multitech Conduit package is less than half the size of the Gateway Bridge package, for instance. That’s a huge win for running updates over a cellular backhaul.
