When I think of IoT I think of devices gathering data, and the data has to go somewhere to be useful. What's the alternative to putting it in the cloud, self-hosting the storage? That's what I would do, but I think it is a pretty niche market who wants to deal with the storage, backing it up, etc.
- recursor 9y agoIMHO the apps should be storage agnostic, with setup including choosing storage (possibly including paid plans). Meditating that through a standardised storage connector would mean the IoT apps have very little to do. That could be something like SFTP, but there are some interesting things like https://remotestorage.io/ https://remotestorage.io/ that allow you to write your own storage provider so decentralised apps can choose their own data store/change storage later without changing the app.
