how can brokers be chained together?

how are MQTT gateways connected to cloud services?

I have read many HIVEMQ blogs, but find no architecture diagram such like this scenarios?

Hi @anlex_N

Are you looking for clustering HiveMQ Brokers into a cluster? If ‘yes’ find the documentation here: [HiveMQ MQTT Broker Clusters :: HiveMQ Documentation](https://docs.hivemq.com/hivemq/latest/user-guide/cluster.html)  
I hope this helps  
Best,  
Dasha from HiveMQ Team

@Daria_H Thank you for your reply, **You are my friend**

I need a architecture **diagram** for chained brokers, a architecture **diagram** for MQTT gateways.

I have read so many texts, I am tired to texts, I need 2 diagrams to help me understand.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out on our HiveMQ Community Forum.

HiveMQ brokers can be chained together via a Bridge.  
Please see our documentation [here](https://docs.hivemq.com/hivemq-bridge-extension/latest/index.html#features).

Lastly, you can find information on our MQTT Gateway called Edge.  
Please see our documentation [here](https://docs.hivemq.com/hivemq-edge/index.html).

Regards,
