Building Enterprise IoT Solutions with Eclipse IoT Technologies: An Open Source Approach to Edge Computing

Build IoT solutions for the enterprise using open-source building  blocks from the Eclipse IoT Working Group at the Eclipse Foundation.  This book introduces you to key protocols and their implementations,  such as CoAP (Eclipse Californium), DDS (Eclipse Cyclone DDS), LwM2M  (Eclipse Leshan), and MQTT (Eclipse Paho, Eclipse Mosquitto, and Eclipse  Amlen). You will learn about Edge Computing platforms (Eclipse ioFog,  Eclipse Kanto), IoT gateways (Eclipse Kura, Eclipse Kapua), and  next-generation edge native protocols (Eclipse zenoh).The book also  covers production-ready platforms for digital twins (Eclipse Ditto),  energy management (Eclipse VOLTTRON), contactless payments (Eclipse  Keyple), and much more.

Although the book discusses hardware matters,  its focus is on software and relevant open standards. The book helps  you understand the pros and cons of the technologies available from  Eclipse IoT and how they have been used in actual deployments. The  examples provided cover a variety of use cases, such as industrial  automation, smart agriculture, digital buildings, robotics, and others.

The  book's contents follow a reference architecture encompassing  constrained devices (things), edge devices (gateways, servers), and IoT  Cloud platforms. For each of those three pillars, you will learn about  relevant open-source components. Usage of code libraries and frameworks  is explained through code samples. You will also learn how to deploy and  configure platform-type components and how to leverage them. Special  attention will be paid to security and edge computing throughout the  book.

What You Will Learn

• Describe in your own words the main software components required in an IoT architecture
• Select the appropriate IoT protocols, components, frameworks, and platforms for a specific project
• Evaluate the connectivity options at your disposal and select the most appropriate ones
• Explain the value of business models focused on open-source components and deploy such models in your organization
• Determine if edge computing is relevant to a project and deploy the relevant components on an edge computing platform
• Build  Enterprise IoT solutions leveraging an array of open-source components  and platforms using popular languages such as C, Java, and Rust

Who This Book Is For

Developers  new to enterprise IoT who want to learn about fundamental technologies  for that market segment and seek an introduction to relevant,  open-source building blocks; experienced IoT developers who seek  alternatives to the proprietary platforms they are currently using;  software architects designing IoT solutions who want to understand  open-source technology options
