In such a setup, communication between these microservices is crucial, but can, unfortunately, cause some headaches. The first thing I check when I’m troubleshooting a bug in production is inter-service communication. Having a reliable tool at your disposal to take care of this can reduce a lot of stress. RabbitMQ, a hybrid messaging broker, is one such tool.
Over the past few years, the IoT community has embraced InfluxDB as a cornerstone of the solutions they build. Whether modernizing or greenfield, InfluxDB has helped many in working with vast quantities of sensor and device data as we continue to deliver on our promise of time to awesome for IoT.
