Demo IoT Stack

The stack is seperated into two parts: the "control plane" (iot_site) and the "data plane" (device_endpoint).

iot_site

This is the user facing website for managing the devices.

• Django 2.x
• Bootstrap 4
• Django REST Framework

device_endpoint

Metrics from the devices are sent here. For the demo we forward them to a local InfluxDB instance.

• aiohttp

Seperating this from the site allows the site to be upgraded independently without downtime to the device endpoint. It also allows a scalable async server to be used.

test_device

This simulates multiple devices sending metrics to the endpoint.
