  • reduct-js

    ReductStore Client SDK for Javascript

  • When we call bucket.beginWrite we create an entry in the bucket if it doesn’t exist yet. Then we write data to the entry with the current timestamp. Now our MQTT data is safe and sound in the storage, and we can access them by using the same SDK.

  • ReductStore

    A time series database for storing and managing large amounts of blob data

  • The MQTT protocol is widely used in IoT applications because of its simplicity and ability to connect different data sources to applications using a publish/subscribe model. While many MQTT brokers support persistent sessions and can store message history as long as an MQTT client is not available, there may be cases where data needs to be stored for a longer period. In such cases, it is recommended to use a time series database. There are many options available, but if you need to store unstructured data such as images, sensor data, or Protobuf messages, consider using ReductStore. It is a time series database specifically designed for storing large amounts of blob data and optimized for IoT and edge computing.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
