Device connectivity is one of the most common issues IoT developers need to solve. Having an open source solution based on the standardized protocols that solves recurring connectivity problems is a very useful tool to have. Meet Eclipse Hono, a cloud-based IoT connectivity platform which provides remote interfaces for device connectivity and mechanisms for uniform interaction with devices regardless of the communication protocol. This session will explain basic ideas and concepts behind Eclipse Hono project, like APIs and communication patterns that Hono provides, its architecture and deployment options. Next, we'll get into the recent development efforts and explain architectural changes made in order to provide more flexibility and better integration with other components of the IoT stack, like messaging, identity management solutions and device registration services.

While scalable messaging is one of the crucial pre-requirements for device connectivity, the goal of Eclipse Hono is not to provide its own solution in this space but rather work with other cloud-based messaging platforms. One such project is called EnMasse (https://github.com/EnMasseProject/enmasse) and it provides an open source solution for deploying scalable messaging infrastructure in the cloud. The rest of the session will introduce basics of the EnMasse project and show how Hono and EnMasse can work together to provide a truly scalable device connectivity. The session will end with a demo showing Hono and EnMasse in action providing scalable device connectivity for IoT applications.
