Internet of Things platforms for Arduino


In the first recipe of this chapter, we are going to see the different platforms that are available for us, if we want to store data online from an Arduino project. We'll see what are the strengths and the weaknesses of each platform, so we can make a choice for the rest of this chapter.

Available platforms

The first platform that I wanted to mention here is called Dweet.io. You can learn more about it at:

https://dweet.io/

Dweet.io is basically a simple API that can be called from any web browser or application, and it is so simple to use that even a human can use it without problems! It's really easy to store data there from an Arduino project, and then to retrieve this data using other applications.

The next platform I wanted to mention here is Xively. This is the main page of Xively:

https://xively.com/

Xively is a complete IoT platform, which is more dedicated to the business world than Dweet.io, for example. It includes more functions than just...
