On top of a web editor in browser and OTA updates, Arduino Cloud gives you: This is particularly useful in production when your devices are out there in the field, gathering data. So unlike Arduino IDE, you can update your device softwares without connecting them to your laptop. At the base of it, it takes the experience of Arduino IDE to the browser and, lets you program your Arduinos via OTA software updates. ![]() the use cases they can support, and are cheap.Īrduino Cloud is the IoT platform offered by Arduino itself. So I’ve compiled a list of platforms I’ve worked on over the years and found to have the flattest learning curve, pack the most flexibility w.r.t. It can be a hassle to scan through them and find out the one that fits your use case. Having them in your stack can help you iterate on your prototypes faster and get your product to market much earlier and cheaper than building it all by yourself or hiring a team of web, database, and devOps engineers.īut there are hundreds of IoT platforms out there, with more or less the same offerings. IoT platforms take care of the humongous development stack (including scaling with devOps). No need to worry about writing servers, setting up databases, renewing certificates, or building OTA for your devices. For an engineer, they abstract out the unnecessary, and many times redundant, low level stuff and give out APIs that get your data across, store it, and fetch it when you need it, with simple function calls. While companies can gradually train their engineers in all that over a span of 5–10 years, there are tools (brokers like Mosquitto) and IoT platforms ( Grandeur and Particle) which take it off their plate. You need expertise in embedded systems, networks, database design, and web (frontend and backend) development. And the tech stack of IoT couldn’t be higher. ![]() Companies have started to hire fuller-stack developers which are usually embedded engineers who have transitioned to web development. The highest number of IoT engineers come from a hardware/embedded background. But it isn’t so long since our colleges started offering IoT as a standalone degree. And building on IoT is supposed to be as methodic as any other tech stack like web development. IoT is no longer the cool kid in town, it’s matured to the level of invisibility in our lives.
