What are IoT Development Platforms for Cloud?

IoT development platforms are suites of tools that provide the software, hardware and services needed to develop and manage applications for connected devices. These platforms allow developers to access remote collection points, such as sensors or other networks, to control the devices and interact with them in real time. They also provide multiple development environments, allowing developers to develop applications with an array of languages, frameworks and protocols. IoT development platforms offer secure data storage and communication capabilities to ensure the security of data collected from connected devices.

    PlatformIO

    PlatformIO

    PlatformIO

    Professional collaborative platform for embedded development. PlatformIO is a next-generation, collaborative platform for embedded development that enables customers to save resources and time by vastly reducing the expenses and labor associated with creating and maintaining product software. We believe the embedded systems industry desperately needs reinvention. Not only are the IDEs and tools built with technology from the 1990s, but they involve many complex requirements and platform-dependent configurations that turn away talented developers from becoming embedded engineers. The most loved IDE solution for Microsoft Visual Studio Code. A user-friendly and extensible integrated development environment with a set of professional development instruments, providing modern and powerful features to speed up yet simplify the creation and delivery of embedded products. PlatformIO is written in pure Python and doesn't depend on any additional libraries/tools from an operation system.
