IoT on Rails (looking for feedback)

7 pointsby tmckdover 7 years ago
We've built/are building a service to help web developers (starting with Rails devs) build end-to-end IoT applications with custom connected devices. The idea is to let web developers do this using their web dev skills. We have a video showing how this is done here: https://www.apiotics.com/videos/1 We're looking for feedback on this, and if anyone wants to try and build an IoT on Rails app with us, please let me know: info - at - apiotics.com.

Looks pretty good. However, how are you going to differentiate your offering from other more established players out there? (e.g. ThingWorkx, AWS IoT etc.)?<p>Also usually these types of &quot;no embedded code needed&quot; offerings are OK for demo applications, but what happens when a lot of custom features are needed? E.g. how can one add custom biz. logic to the auto-generated code? If this is not clearly spelled out, then customers are going to be hesitant to get locked into your platform I think.<p>You can msg. me direct if more info needed, I&#x27;ve worked in the industrial monitoring space for over 15 years now.

This looks very promising. As a healthcare professional I am interested to know if it can be used to monitor various healthcare related devices such as medical devices or hospital hardwares. Would love to know more on this.

Isn&#x27;t it a bit of a stretch to run something like this on rails when you need cheap concurrency? Go, Rust, erlang would come to mind.
