EdgeX Foundry

EdgeX Foundry is a vendor-neutral framework for IoT edge computing. It sits between physical devices and the applications and cloud services that consume their data, giving sensors and devices a common, hardware- and OS-agnostic path into your systems regardless of vendor or protocol.

The platform is built from loosely coupled microservices written in Go: device services that talk to hardware, core data and command services, and supporting and application services that route data outward. Services communicate over a message bus, with NATS available as an opt-in option, and run as plug-and-play components you can swap or extend.

Security components are enabled by default. With them on, external service ports are closed and REST traffic flows through a proxy that requires an access token. EdgeX runs from Docker images or native Go binaries and is licensed under Apache-2.0.
