IoT

INTRODUCTION
The Internet of Things has shown steady growth for some time, and experts say that this
growth won’t be slowing down anytime soon. One of the problems with IoT is the sheer
number of different devices you can connect to each other. Different connection protocols
make it very difficult to manage a network of those devices. Not to mention that besides
connecting to those devices (by the way, securely) you need to get the information from
them, store it, process it, and analyze it somehow. That’s where the IoT platforms come in.
To make it simple, the IoT platform is a middleware between the devices and user
applications
It is pretty hard to pick the right IoT platform that would fit your purposes as you
need to look not only the things you need right now but consider the possibility of an
upgrade and what directions the platform is going in the future. Not to mention that the
“right now” part is also pretty tricky, as the range of services and features different
platforms provide might differ.
Let’s go through a list of popular IoT platforms that are on the market today.
