Connecting Things Together, an IoT Data Protocol Story - Dave McAllister, Solace

The Internet of Things is rapidly becoming the Internet of Everything. And with that comes massive scale up in data and in messages being generated and delivered for analysis and machine learning. Such scale issues require an understanding of the various wire protocols in use for IoT and for the applications being fed. Without data movement, IoT is meaningless.

So, how do you deal with moving IoT messages into Cloud Foundry?

Dave will help you understand the pros and cons of relevant protocols by demonstrating a simple IoT scenario: A particulate sensor connected to an Arduino Uno that sends MQTT messages into a message router that passes them along to Pivotal Cloud Foundry using REST. 

From there, he’ll look at the protocol requirements of a microservices architecture within Cloud Foundry, including considerations of JMS and AMQP. Dave will finish up with a discussion on the emerging multi-cloud and hybrid cloud (public to private to datacenter) architectures and why your data needs to flow where you need it when you need it, in the form that best fits the use case.
