EdgeX Foundry is a vendor-neutral open source framework for IoT edge computing, and this repository contains the Go implementation of its core and support microservices. It includes build files, containerization, and service bootstrapping for a hardware- and OS-agnostic reference software platform.

Use cases

  • build an IoT edge computing platform
  • run plug-and-play microservices at the edge
  • connect and manage IoT devices from an edge gateway
  • deploy a hardware-agnostic IoT reference platform
  • route device data over a message bus like NATS or MQTT
  • self-host edge services for industrial IoT solutions

When to choose

  • you need an open, vendor-neutral IoT edge framework
  • you want Go-based microservices for edge gateways
  • you need plug-and-play interoperability between edge components
  • you're building industrial or commercial IoT deployments on Linux hardware

When to avoid

  • you need a simple single-binary IoT agent rather than a full microservices platform
  • your project is cloud-only with no edge computing requirements
  • you need a lightweight framework for constrained embedded devices
  • you want a turnkey commercial IoT platform with vendor support
