SiteWhere is an open-source, multi-tenant IoT application enablement platform built on Java/Spring microservices, offering device and asset management, data ingestion, big-data storage, and REST APIs. It ships SDKs for Android, iOS, Arduino, and Java-capable devices like Raspberry Pi, and runs on Kafka, Zookeeper, MongoDB, and Kubernetes with Helm charts.

Use cases

  • manage a fleet of IoT devices with assignments and device types
  • ingest sensor telemetry over MQTT at scale
  • build a multi-tenant IoT platform with REST APIs
  • connect Arduino or Raspberry Pi devices to a backend
  • store and analyze IoT event data in big-data stores
  • deploy an IoT microservice stack on Kubernetes

When to choose

  • you already run SiteWhere and need reference material for an existing deployment or fork
  • you need a Java-based IoT platform whose domain model matches your existing integration
  • you want to study a mature microservice-based IoT architecture

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new IoT project - the project is unmaintained since 2021 and its successor DeviceChain is the active path
  • you want a lightweight stack - SiteWhere requires Kafka, Zookeeper, MongoDB, and a service mesh
  • you need timely bug fixes or security patches
