12. COMPOSE at heart
servIoTicy
• IoT Streaming made easy!
• RESTful API for:
– Storing device (sensor) data
– Querying & Retrieving the data
– Pushing data to the device
– Subscribing to notifications (e.g., new sensor data arrived)
• Free and Open Source
• Downloadable bundle (Ubuntu/Debian Image)
• Soon -> CloudFoundry installation

13. COMPOSE at heart
servIoTicy
• Integration of popular frameworks:
• Apache STORM
• ElasticSearch
• CouchBase DB
• Apache Apollo – ActiveMQ
– WS/STOMP/MQTT/AMQP/…
• Jetty
• ….
