IoT device management and multi-protocol messaging platform demands specific architectural decisions and high-concurrency approaches due to the massive number of devices we expect to be connected in the near future. All of this must be done with high security in mind, as well as respecting requirements for low-power, memory constrained devices with intermittent connectivity and limited bandwidth. We will analyze the architecture, implementation and testing procedures needed for creating an industry-grade IoT platform and propose a patent-free open-source solution based on a set of scalable containerized microservices, with high concurrency and high security based on PKI with specific ciphers and encryption procedures that are suitable for constrained devices. Similar tutorial session was accepted and presented on Open Networking Summit 2017 in Santa Clara and was very well received.
