What is ThingsBoard?

ThingsBoard is an open-source Internet of Things platform that enables rapid development, management and scaling of IoT projects. ThingsBoard allows you to collect and visualize data from devices and assets, analyze device data and build rule chains to trigger alarms and notifications, manage devices and assets, integrate with external systems using REST APIs and MQTT messaging, and build white label IoT dashboards and mobile applications.

ThingsBoard offers features such as device provisioning, credentials management and role-based access control to enhance IoT network security. It provides tools for device telemetry collection, processing and visualization. Using customizable widgets and rule chains, you can analyze device data, trigger certain events or send notifications to users. ThingsBoard supports device attributes for storing metadata and provides an audit log with detailed information on platform activity.

ThingsBoard is implemented using scalable microservices architecture and can be deployed on cloud or on-premises infrastructure. It has been designed to handle millions of devices and events while being fault-tolerant to system failures. ThingsBoard integrates deeply with major cloud providers such as AWS, GCP, Azure to leverage their core services for IoT deployments.

ThingsBoard is very extensible - you can extend system functionality by building custom microservices, widgets, rule actions, REST APIs that perfectly fit your project requirements. There is also an open-source mobile application available to monitor device data and dashboard remotely.
