MQTT brokers, time-series databases and device management for device fleets – on infrastructure capable of handling millions of measurement values per day.
IoT projects rarely fail because of sensors – it’s usually down to the back-end. These components can also support large fleets.
MQTT brokers and API gateways scale in Kubernetes in line with the number of devices – from a pilot project with 10 sensors to a fleet comprising tens of thousands.
InfluxDB, TimescaleDB or VictoriaMetrics process streams of measurement data efficiently on NVMe volumes; long-term data is archived in S3.
VPN access, VPC isolation and cloud firewalls effectively isolate device traffic from the internet.
German customers’ machine data remains in Germany – with a C5 certificate as proof for clients.
The pilot runs on a VM with a broker and database; the fleet will later run in Kubernetes with scalable ingestion, stream processing and Grafana dashboards. Old measurement data is automatically moved to the low-cost S3 archive.
Customers typically implement this use case using these building blocks – which can be combined and expanded at any time.
IoT hosting: scalable back-ends for connected devices – MQTT, time-series databases and edge connectivity on German infrastructure. The core component is Kubernetes from €29.99 per month – billed by the hour, with no minimum contract term. This is supplemented, as required, by Volumes and S3 Object Storage. All data remains in Germany: in our own data centres in Hallstadt near Bamberg, certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz and BSI C5:2020 Type 1. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit.
