biot

Biot is a network-aware information pipe for the IoT. Biot stands for "Bridge for the Internet of Things", but it also is a small village in France. It aims at easily bridging together the various APIs that are involved in IoT projects. Simply put biot accepts a number of sources, acquires data from these sources, extracts any number of variables from this data and pushes templates using these variables to any number of destinations.

Biot

Biot is tuned to work in modern cloud architectures through its ability to be made available as a docker component. Further, you can easily instantiate as many biot information processing pipes in a cluster using fleet (and CoreOS). In this context, biot is for example able to acquire its data from the etcd key-value store and process data as instructed. Configuration data in etcd can be changed at any time to (re)instruct biot to process data.

For more information about the design and concepts behind biot, but also how to use it, read its full documentation. Quick hands-on examples can be found in the solutions document.
