Rust IoT Gateway Demo: STM32 → MQTT → Rust Gateway → Grafana/Tempo
For teams shipping connected devices at scale who need reliability, observability, and security—without vendor lock-in.
Services
Outcome-focused packages designed to show value quickly and scale sensibly.
Get a clear overview of how your connected devices communicate with the cloud. This audit uncovers reliability bottlenecks, insecure data paths, and missing observability in your IoT infrastructure — giving you a roadmap for safer operations.
Typical engagement: 40–60k DKK · Fixed scope
Turn audit insights into measurable reliability and security gains. This sprint implements prioritized improvements using Rust, Scala, or Python, focusing on robust communication pipelines, secure data handling, and production-grade observability.
Ongoing architecture reviews and tuning for teams running critical IoT data systems. Maintain reliability, security, and cost-efficiency with continuous feedback, SLO tracking, and on-demand engineering support.

What breaks when an edge IoT gateway runs 24/7? Real operational lessons from running a secure edge-to-cloud system under intermittent connectivity, focusing on reliability, observability, and silent failure modes.
Edge-to-cloud systems without proper observability suffer from slow debugging and reactive incident response. Learn why logs alone fall short and how observability reduces risk.
I created a structured IoT Architecture Audit Checklist. It captures the core principles of reliability, security, and observability, and provides a consistent process for evaluating device -> gateway -> cloud pipelines.
