The technology ecosystem of Internet of Things (IoT) is complex, and includes hardware, connectivity, platforms, middleware, analytics, operating systems, applications, and services.
As per IDC, there will be 41.6 billion connected IoT devices or 'things', generating 79.4 zettabytes (ZB) of data in 2025. Sixty-four per cent of those surveyed think open source is significant in deploying IoT, as per the IDC Global IoT DecisionMaker Survey. According to a survey by W3.Org, 91% of IoT developers use open source software, open hardware, or open data in at least one part of their development stack.
According to Statista, the total installed base of Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices is projected to amount to 75.44 billion worldwide by 2025. By 2030, IoT could enable US$ 5.5 trillion to $12.6 trillion in value globally, including the value captured by consumers and customers of IoT products and services, as per McKinsey.
With billions of devices generating trillions of bytes of data, it is very crucial for enterprises to organise, store and work with all the data that is generated.
In general, IoT applications leverage both relational and non-relational (NoSQL) databases. The selection of the type of the database depends on the application type. In most of the cases, a combination of both the databases can be utilised.
Most IoT applications are heterogeneous and domain-centric. Choosing the most efficient database for these applications can be challenging. The important parameters for choosing the right database for IoT applications are scalability, availability, ability to handle huge amounts of data, high processing speed, schema flexibility, integration with varied analytical tools, security and costs.

Helgrind: Detecting Synchronisation Issues in Multithreaded Programs
Let's explore how Helgrind can be used to detect and debug multithreading issues with the help of a multithreaded C program.
The Perfect Process of Booting a PC
Booting a PC seems as simple as eating a cake. But are you aware of all that goes on behind-the-scenes to bake a delicious cake or seamlessly boot a PC?
Exploring eBPF and its Integration with Kubernetes
eBPF, a game-changing technology that extends the capabilities of the Linux kernel, offers significant advantages for Kubernetes networking. It also greatly improves Kubernetes observability by capturing detailed telemetry data directly from the kernel. Read on to find out how its integration with Kubernetes has immense benefits.
Deploying Generative AI LLMs on Docker
Built on massive datasets, large language models or LLMS are closely associated with generative Al. Integrating these models with Docker has quite a few advantages.
Containerisation: The Cornerstone of Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Cloud Success
Open source containerisation software provides the flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and community support needed to build and manage complex multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments. By leveraging this software, businesses can unlock the full potential of multicloud and hybrid cloud architectures while minimising vendor lock-in risks.
From Virtual Machines to Docker Containers: The Evolution of Software Development
Containerisation and Kubernetes have eased software development, making it faster and better. Let's see where these are headed, looking at trends that are making life easier for developers.
India's Leap in Supercomputing: Innovating for Tomorrow
As India strides towards self-sufficiency in supercomputing, embracing this evolution isn't just an option-it is pivotal for global competitiveness and technological leadership.
SageMath: A Quick Introduction to Cybersecurity
In the previous articles in this SageMath series, we delved into graph theory and explored its applications using SageMath. In this seventh article in the series, it is time to shift our focus to another crucial subfield of computer science: cybersecurity and cryptography.
Efficient Prompt Engineering: Getting the Right Answers
OpenAl's GPT-3 and GPT-4 are powerful tools that can generate human-like text, answer questions, and provide insights. However, the quality of these outputs depends heavily on how you frame the input, or prompt. Efficient prompt engineering ensures you get the right answers by designing inputs that guide the AI towards relevant, clear, and useful responses. Let's find out how to craft effective prompts with examples.
Analysing Linus Torvald's Critique of Docker
This article looks at Docker's security flaws, particularly its shared-kernel model, and contrasts it with traditional VMs for better isolation. It discusses Linus Torvalds' concerns, explores mitigation techniques, and proposes a roadmap for building a more secure containerisation platform using hardware-assisted virtualisation, true isolation, and a robust orchestration layer.
