The Application of Open Source Technologies to IoT and Edge Computing
summary
Argues that open source is the dominant route to IoT and edge platforms, citing concrete tools and outcomes: Kubernetes at the edge and gRPC for cloud-to-edge, protocol moves like MQTT through Eclipse Paho and Mosquitto, and standards implementations (DDS, CoAP, OPC UA, LwM2M). Offers numbers: 74% factoring open source in deployments and a cited 100% productivity gains for contributors. Predicts open, vendor-neutral platform emergence for a multivendor machine economy, and gives a real rescue case where a foundation rebooted the BIRT project to keep it alive.
