IoT Challеnges - Microservices and Edge Computing at rescue

Flexibility and interoperability in the field of IoT software is a main goal. The challenges the IoT needs to handle include resource limitations (CPU/RAM/storage/network capacity and availability), implementing security at the edge of the network, work with diverse set of devices, that use different network protocols, managing the overall generated data traffic etc. The mix of platforms, “things”, applications, intelligence, etc. all connected in a single IoT deployment is extensive and ever growing. How do you create a software platform that addresses all these problems? How extending cloud native principles as close as possible to the edge and applying microservices design pattern could facilitate the development of an edge large-scale system? In this talk we share our IoT/Edge design development experience in the context of the open source project called – EdgeX Foundry.
