I think fundamental problem of it is it being basically a monolith and is now hard to untangle that.

IMO better architecture for such "IOT HUB" would be a rule-engine that basically just takes code (embeddable language like Lua or outright WASM) and runs them against incoming events. Maybe add pluggable storage so the code can use some kind of persistency on top of it.

Then UI would basically be just a configuration interface for that rule engine. So to run high availability you'd just run the engine on 2 nodes and sync the configs, and configuration/dashboard/whatever else using it could run separately on "bigger" machines.
