OpenContinuum Webinar: IoT and Edge at Eclipse: Making Sense of the Puzzle

Frédéric Desbiens manages IoT and Edge Computing programs at the Eclipse Foundation, Europe’s largest open-source organisation. His job is to help the community innovate by bringing devices and software together. He is a strong supporter of open source. In the past, he worked as a product manager, solutions architect, and developer for companies as diverse as Pivotal, Cisco, and Oracle. Frédéric holds an MBA in electronic commerce, a BASc in Computer Science, and a BEd, all from Université Laval (Québec City, Canada).

As of November 2022, there were over 40 projects in the Eclipse IoT and Edge Native portfolio. Some of them are well-known; some of them are more obscure. Together, they probably are the most exhaustive toolkit of its kind in the industry. However, with that many projects, it is sometimes difficult to figure out which one to pick for a specific use case. The aim of this presentation is to describe the most active Eclipse IoT and Edge projects and position them in a typical IoT architecture.

Frédéric is the author of “Building Enterprise IoT Solutions using Eclipse IoT Technologies: An Open-Source Approach to Edge Computing,” published in 2022 by Apress (ISBN: 978-1484288818).
