Open Source Summit + ELC Europe 2018

While the IoT has always been about 'Things' it is more and more about the data that those things generate and how that data is collected, stored, managed, analyzed and acted upon that is moving to the fore. The ability to collect data from a variety of sources, store -- and forward if necessary -- data at any point across the entire architecture, whether that be at the edge or in the cloud, is critical in developing a Data Layer for the IoT. What the IoT needs is the ability to collect, store, manage, visualize, analyze and respond to data at any point across the architecture without regard to the underlying compute hardware. In this talk I'll discuss building an entirely Linux- and open source-based IoT data layer that is capable of all of these things from Edge to Cloud and everywhere in between.
