ThingsBoard is an open‑source IoT platform that provides device provisioning, data collection, processing, and real‑time visualization. It can be deployed on‑premises or used as a managed cloud service and supports MQTT, CoAP, HTTP and microservices architecture.

Use cases

  • Collect telemetry from sensors and store it at scale
  • Create real‑time dashboards to visualize IoT data
  • Provision, monitor and manage thousands of devices and assets
  • Define rule chains to transform and react to incoming device data
  • Monitor industrial equipment with SCADA‑style dashboards
  • Deploy edge instances to process data locally and reduce cloud bandwidth

When to choose

  • You need a full‑featured, open‑source IoT platform with device management and visualization
  • You want the flexibility to run on‑premises, in Docker, or as a managed cloud service
  • Your solution requires microservices scalability and support for MQTT/CoAP/HTTP protocols
  • You need built‑in rule engine and alarm capabilities for complex data processing

When to avoid

  • You need a lightweight library to embed directly in constrained devices
  • Your stack is not Java‑centric and you prefer a native SDK instead of a server application
  • You require a purely serverless or function‑as‑a‑service solution without managing infrastructure
  • You only need simple data ingestion without dashboards or device management
