IoT Edge Development Frameworks/Platforms – Spoilt for Choice

Manufacturers are investing heavily into IoT to launch new digital services, create innovative business models and drive efficiency based upon sensor data. As data volumes are skyrocketing, cost and latency challenges have been shifting the focus increasingly from cloud-centered IoT architectures towards edge solutions. Against this background, three key questions arise for IoT software development: 1. How can edge functionalities efficiently be developed and integrated into IoT cloud architectures to ensure future-proof, secure and scalable IoT solutions? 2. Which edge development frameworks/ platforms are available for this task and what are their respective benefits/ limits? 3. How can edge distributed computing help to create cost-effective, fault-tolerant and scalable systems? The presentation answers these questions in depth, categorizes the variety of existing offers, suggests a pragmatic selection process and shows latest trends in distributed computing by means of a live demo.
