[paho-dev] Using Redis with the Paho MQTT Rust Language Library

[Frank Pagliughi <fpagliughi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I made a small side project showing how to use Redis as a message 
persistence store with the emerging Rust Paho Client:
https://github.com/fpagliughi/mqtt.rust.redis

I often like to pair Redis with MQTT on embedded Linux systems. It's 
great at caching time-series data, and can help to significantly reduce 
Flash thrashing on smaller devices. It can store message data in a 
stable secondary process without having to write everything to the flash 
device.

Using the existing Rust Redis crate, and MQTT persistence store takes 
~50 lines of code.
