Lightweight Open Source IoT Platform

Internet of Things platform (IoT platform)

The Internet of Things platform (IoT platform) is a system used to connect various sensor devices’ collected data with the Internet to achieve functions such as remote monitoring, automatic alarm, remote control, remote diagnosis, and remote maintenance. It is responsible for providing the common functions and infrastructure required in the research and development process of IoT solutions, thus accelerating the implementation of solutions. Specifically, the IoT platform should have the following capabilities: data collection from the perception layer devices, device management and distribution, device monitoring and operation maintenance, massive data storage, open interfaces, and application development capabilities such as rule engines. According to specific classifications, IoT platforms can be divided into IoT connection management platforms and IoT application development platforms. The IoT connection management platform is responsible for connecting sensor data and linking it to the cloud or other data processing services, while the IoT application development platform can provide richer functions and applications based on the IoT connection management platform. Therefore, the IoT platform is a key component that enables interconnection, data exchange, and information sharing among various devices and systems in IoT systems, allowing various IoT applications to achieve intelligent and remote management and control.

Hummingbird

The Hummingbird IoT platform is a lightweight, high-performance IoT platform written in Go, characterized by extremely low memory usage and support for a large number of device connections. This platform includes rich functional modules such as device access, product management, object model, alarm center, and rule engine, supporting databases such as SQLite, LevelDB, MySQL, and TDengine, allowing users to choose the database that suits their project needs. The Hummingbird platform also implements integration with IoT platforms such as Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Huawei Cloud, and oneNet, supporting data reporting to major IoT platforms. Additionally, the platform provides visual large screen development design capabilities, allowing users to complete large screen development design with simple drag and drop. Deployment is also very simple, supporting one-click startup using the docker-compose command. In summary, the Hummingbird IoT platform is a function-rich, high-performance, and easy-to-deploy lightweight IoT platform suitable for various IoT application scenarios.

Product Advantages

• Free to use: We provide a free version for personal learning or commercial use.

• Excellent performance: Through actual testing, on a 2C4G host, it can support 60k device connections. Simulating 4k devices sending 16KB length attribute data to the server at 1000ms intervals, CPU usage stabilizes at 60%, and memory usage stabilizes at 16%.

• Multi-data support: The platform supports SQLite, LevelDB, MySQL, and TDengine databases, allowing users to choose the database that suits their project needs.

• Cloud plugins: The platform implements integration with IoT platforms such as Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Huawei Cloud, and oneNet, supporting data reporting to major IoT platforms.

• Support for visual large screen: Users only need to perform simple drag and drop, without writing any code, to complete visual large screen development design.

• Built-in product template library: The platform internally pre-sets product templates (390 items), helping users create products with one click.

• Clear documentation: The platform documentation is clear and complete, with numerous use cases and video tutorials to help users quickly understand and use the product.

• Simple deployment: All services of the platform run in docker form, supporting one-click startup with the docker-compose command.

• Cost advantage: For small and medium-sized IoT projects (device count <= 5000), only a 2C4G host is needed, and local deployment is also supported.
