## What it is
ThingsBoard is an open-source IoT platform for device management, telemetry data collection, processing, and visualization. It supports standard IoT protocols (MQTT, CoAP, HTTP, LwM2M, SNMP), a rule engine for alarms and data processing, flexible dashboards, and cloud or on-premises deployment.

## Use cases
- manage and monitor a fleet of IoT devices
- build real-time dashboards for sensor telemetry
- collect and store device telemetry data at scale
- set up alarms and notifications on device data thresholds
- connect devices over MQTT, CoAP, or HTTP
- build an industrial SCADA-style monitoring solution
- process device data with rule chains and trigger actions
- self-host an IoT platform for customers with multi-tenancy

## When to choose
- you need an end-to-end IoT platform with device management, data collection, and visualization out of the box
- you want protocol support for MQTT, CoAP, HTTP, LwM2M, or SNMP without building custom ingestion
- you need dashboards, alarms, and rule engines without writing much code
- you want a scalable, multi-tenant platform deployable on-premises or in the cloud

## When to avoid
- you only need lightweight MQTT brokering or simple device-to-cloud messaging
- you want to embed IoT logic directly into your own application code rather than use a platform
- you need a fully managed service and don't want to self-host (consider ThingsBoard Cloud instead)
- your use case is general web analytics or business intelligence rather than device telemetry
