AWS IoT Device Shadow library
Client library for using AWS IoT Shadow service on embedded devices
The AWS IoT Device Shadow library enables you to store and retrieve the current state (the “shadow”) of every registered device. The device’s shadow is a persistent, virtual representation of your device that you can interact with from AWS IoT Core even if the device is offline. The device state is captured as its “shadow” within a JSON document. The device can send commands over MQTT to get, update and delete its latest state as well as receive notifications over MQTT about changes in its state. Each device’s shadow is uniquely identified by the name of the corresponding “thing”, a representation of a specific device or logical entity on the AWS Cloud. See Managing Devices with AWS IoT for more information on IoT "thing". More details about AWS IoT Device Shadow can be found in AWS IoT documentation. This library is distributed under the MIT Open Source License. -

pyrpl
PyRPL turns your Red Pitaya into a powerful analog feedback device.
The Red Pitaya is a commercial, affordable FPGA board with fast analog inputs and outputs. This makes it useful for quantum optics experiments, in particular as a digital feedback controller for analog systems. Based on the open source software provided by the board manufacturer, PyRPL (Python RedPitaya Lockbox) implements many devices that are needed for optics experiments with the Red Pitaya. PyRPL implements various digital signal processing (DSP) modules (see features below). It allows to arbitrarily interconnect the available DSP modules and retrieve signal values on timescales below 1 ms. The graphical user interface (GUI) provides a realtime display of the various measurement instruments and allows the easy configuration of DSP signal chains and feedback controllers. At the highest abstraction level, arbitrary feedback sequences can be defined to fulfill tasks as complex as approaching and locking a resonance of a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity (tested up to finesse=100,000). -

AWS IoT Device SDK for Java
Java SDK for connecting to AWS IoT from a device
The AWS IoT Device SDK for Java enables Java developers to access the AWS IoT Platform through MQTT or MQTT over the WebSocket protocol. The SDK is built with AWS IoT device shadow support, providing access to thing shadows (sometimes referred to as device shadows) using shadow methods, including GET, UPDATE, and DELETE. It also supports a simplified shadow access model, which allows developers to exchange data with their shadows by just using getter and setter methods without having to serialize or deserialize any JSON documents. A new AWS IoT Device SDK is now available. It is a complete rework, built to improve reliability, performance, and security. We invite your feedback! The SDK is built on top of the Paho MQTT Java client library. Developers can choose from two types of connections to connect to the AWS IoT service. -

AWS IoT SDK for JavaScript
SDK for connecting to AWS IoT from a device using JavaScript/Node.js
A new AWS IoT Device SDK is now available. It is a complete rework, built to improve reliability, performance, and security. We invite your feedback! The aws-iot-device-sdk.js package allows developers to write JavaScript applications that access the AWS IoT Platform via MQTT or MQTT over the Secure WebSocket Protocol. It can be used in Node.js environments as well as in-browser applications. This package is built on top of mqtt.js and provides three classes: 'device', 'thingShadow' and 'jobs'. The 'device' class wraps mqtt.js to provide a secure connection to the AWS IoT platform and expose the mqtt.js interfaces upward. It provides features to simplify the handling of intermittent connections, including progressive backoff retries, automatic re-subscription upon connection and queued offline publishing with a configurable drain rate. Beginning with Release v2.2.0 of the SDK, AWS collects usage metrics indicating which language and version of the SDK is being used. -

IoTDB
Apache IoTDB
Apache IoTDB (Database for Internet of Things) is an IoT native database with high performance for data management and analysis, deployable on the edge and the cloud. Due to its light-weight architecture, high performance and rich feature set together with its deep integration with Apache Hadoop, Spark and Flink, Apache IoTDB can meet the requirements of massive data storage, high-speed data ingestion and complex data analysis in the IoT industrial fields. In the scene of factories, there are tens of devices under LAN network. IoTDB can be installed on a local controller server in the factory to receive data from those devices. The local controller server (normal PC or workstation) with IoTDB can provide the ability to persist data and query data with SQL-like interface. In addition, with TsFile-Sync tool, TsFiles on the local controller can be transmitted to the data center equipped with IoTDB instance in the cloud. -
