Introduction

This is an IoT middleware created with three goals in mind:

• Performance
• Scalability
• Modularity

Do we lie?!

We don't lie! For all of the above goals we have done something.

• For performance:
  we have used MQTT for fast and reliable delivery of messages, and we have also used the Nodejs for the sake of it's asynchrounos innate, that improves the performance of the application.

• For Scalability:
  We are using containerized MQTT servers, and balance loaders so that our servers never discourage you :)

• For Modularity:
  Nodejs is inherently extremely modular, and to make our application more modular, we intend to use docker containers for different services of our application.
  For example in our current architecture this middleware is supposed to include three parts:

  • Message Passing Container
  • WebUI Container
  • Automation Engine Container

From the benefits of this architecture we can point out following reasons:

1. This makes balance loading easier. (By creating multiple instance of a certain docker image.
2. Easier development.
3. Greater maintainability
