Scaling the Internet of Things (IoT) at Speed

The Challenge

Bosch.IO, a German multinational engineering and technology company needed to rapidly deliver Cloud based IoT projects based on their Bosch IoT Suite. In a hot competitive market, speed and quality of delivery is a key factor for Bosch.IO’s success in winning and keeping global clients. Bosch.IO invested 15 years in developing a robust and feature rich IoT stack, and the engineering challenge here was how to extend the stack with cutting-edge technologies at speed and scale to satisfy the demanding requirements of their global clients. Specifically, the Bosch.IO engineering team needed to combine craftsmanship in the vast Java- based IoT legacy and proficiency in the latest cloud-native technologies to enable and rapidly build high- quality state-of-the-art scalable IoT architectures tailored to their new clients.
