## What it is
IoTSharp is an open-source industrial IoT platform built on .NET for device access, telemetry collection, rule-chain processing, visualization, and multi-tenant device management. It supports HTTP, MQTT, and CoAP connectivity and ships via Docker, Windows/Linux services, and installers.

## Use cases
- collect telemetry from IoT devices over MQTT
- manage devices and gateways in a multi-tenant IoT platform
- build rule chains to process device data and trigger alarms
- visualize device data on a dashboard
- self-host an open-source alternative to ThingsBoard
- connect devices via CoAP or HTTP to a cloud platform
- manage industrial assets and products with digital twins

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted, multi-tenant IoT platform with device management and telemetry
- your stack is .NET/C# and you want an extensible IoT backend
- you need MQTT, CoAP, and HTTP device connectivity with rule-chain automation
- you want Docker or native service deployment options

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight single-purpose MQTT broker only
- you require a mature ecosystem comparable to ThingsBoard or AWS IoT
- your team has no .NET operational experience
- you need extensive third-party integrations out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: iot, message-queue, data-visualization, monitoring, web-framework, api-framework
- domain: iot, self-hosted, analytics
