Mainflux is modern massively-scalable and highly-secured open source and patent-free IoT cloud platform written in Go and Erlang, based on a set of microservices.

It allows device, user and application connections over various network protocols, like HTTP, MQTT, WebSocket and CoAP, making a seamless bridge between them. It is used as the IoT middleware for building complex IoT solutions.

Mainflux is built with <3 by Mainflux team and community contributors.

Mainflux IoT cloud is composed of several components, i.e. microservices:

Docker composition that constitues Mainflux IoT infrastructure is defined in the docker-compose.yml.

For professional deployments Mainflux is usually combined with Mainflux Authentication and Authorization Server which adds fine-grained security based on customizable API keys.

Mainflux Auth Server also provides user accounts and device and application access control with simple customizable scheme based on scoped JWTs.

• Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/Mainflux/mainflux.git && cd mainflux

• Start the Docker composition:

docker-compose up

This will automatically download Docker images from Mainflux Docker Hub and deploy the composition of Mianflux microservices.

An extensive (and incomplete) list of features includes:

• Responsive and scalable architecture based on a set of microservices
• Set of clean APIs: HTTP RESTful, MQTT, WebSocket and CoAP
• SDK - set of client libraries for many HW platforms in several programming languages: C/C++, JavaScript, Go and Python
• Device management and provisioning and OTA FW updates
• Highly secured connections via TLS and DTLS
• Enhanced and fine-grained security via deployment-ready Mainflux Authentication and Authorization Server with Access Control scheme based on customizable API keys and scoped JWT
• Easy deployment and high system scalability via Docker images
• Clear project roadmap, extensive development ecosystem and highly skilled developer community
• And many more
