How does IoT development differ from standard software or embedded systems projects?
IoT development integrates hardware, connectivity, and cloud systems, requiring expertise in sensors, communication protocols, and real-time data handling. Traditional software focuses mainly on apps or servers without managing physical devices.
Unlike embedded systems, IoT extends beyond standalone device logic by enabling internet connectivity, remote updates, and large-scale data analytics. It emphasizes scalability and security, while embedded projects usually focus on localized, device-specific functionality.
What platforms and frameworks do top IoT agencies use?
IoT agencies use the following platforms and frameworks:
- Cloud IoT platforms: AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google Cloud IoT, IBM Watson IoT, Oracle IoT Cloud
- Industrial/IIoT platforms: Siemens MindSphere, ThingWorx, Cumulocity IoT, Arm Pelion
- Open-source frameworks: DeviceHive, Mainflux, Thinger.io, Kaa IoT, Zetta, Eclipse IoT
- Embedded firmware and RTOS: Mongoose OS, Apache Mynewt, RT-Thread
- Data and messaging tools: Apache IoTDB, Apache Kafka
- Prototyping and visual tools: Node-RED, Arduino, PlatformIO, ThingSpeak
How legitimate is the FAQs?
Our goal is to equip businesses and agencies with practical and accurate information, which is why we partnered with Chike Agbai, founder and CEO of Azumo, a leading IoT company. He provided his technical expertise on the qualities to look for when selecting a development partner.
Chike Agbai spent nearly two decades as an investment banker on Wall Street, where he advised leading software companies such as Oracle, Salesforce, and Dell on high-stake transactions, before founding Azumo in 2016. Under his leadership, Azumo has grown into a multi-million-dollar business, creating software solutions for global brands like Meta, Discovery, and Zynga, as well as high-growth startups.
