IoT Platform As A Service

COMPOSE at heart

servIoTicy• IoT Streaming made easy!• RESTful API for:

– Storing device (sensor) data– Querying & Retrieving the data– Pushing data to the device– Subscribing to notifications (e.g., new sensor data arrived)

• Free and Open Source• Downloadable bundle (Ubuntu/Debian Image)• Soon -> CloudFoundry installation

COMPOSE at heart

servIoTicy• Integration of popular frameworks:• Apache STORM• ElasticSearch• CouchBase DB• Apache Apollo – ActiveMQ

– WS/STOMP/MQTT/AMQP/…
