Abstract
The previous chapter introduces the concept of Enterprise Internet of things with the help of sample applications. This chapter introduces the architectural concerns of Enterprise Internet of Things. The chapter starts with a reference architecture of Enterprise Internet of Things where all the components of an end to end IoT solution is explained. The critical component in the architecture is the middleware solution. The middleware component enables communication across the disparate hardware and software components in the solution. Enterprise IoT solutions are more complicated to develop and maintain due to the participation of several vendors. The interoperability challenges are handled with the help of middleware solutions and this chapter addresses two important architectures namely Monolithic architecture and Microservices architecture. These architectures are not specific to IoT solutions but generic for Enterprise software development. This chapter illustrates how the Microservices architecture is the most suitable choice for designing Enterprise IoT applications. In the last part, there is a detailed discussion on the trade-off between Monolithic and Micro services architectures.
