IoT North Community meetup are delighted to present Marc Pous and Alex Lennon from Balena.io and "MING the open-source LAMP-like stack for the Internet of Things" Remember the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) from the late 90’s when the World Wide Web was exploding into the public consciousness? As you’ll recall, LAMP came about as an answer to a set of challenges that the web development community were facing. At that moment, Open Source came to the rescue! Today, our team works predominantly within the Embedded Systems and Internet of Things (IoT) domain, but many of the challenges we face are parallels to those faced by the creators of the LAMP stack. This is why we think that the open source MING (MQTT, InfluxDB, NodeRED and Grafana) stack can enable the next generation of IoT Application developers. With this session we aim to take attendees through the journey we’ve been on as we’ve been developing Internet of Things solutions. We will cover how each of these Open Source technologies can be managed and deployed using container platforms. Bio Marc is currently the balena.io Developer Advocate.
