The Design and Implementation of a RESTful IoT Service Using the MERN Stack
Preston Porter, Shuhui Yang, Xuefeng Xi · 2019
With the increasing number of Internet of Things applications (IoT), an enormous number of IoT devices are connected to the Internet and require processing from the Cloud. Although the Cloud theoretically has unlimited resources, it is still a significant challenge for the Cloud to perform a real time response. This project is a designed and developed RESTful IoT service for a quick communication between IoT devices and the Cloud, using the MERN stack. As a gateway, the proposed system gathers data from IoT devices such as wireless sensors, for the Cloud to further process on it. The Representational State Transfer (REST) model is adopted in the proposed system. It has a good performance in terms of response time and scalability. Experiments further verified the performance of the proposed system.
