Why removed the API about the Data and Events? #125

Closed tankerdream closed 8 years ago

tankerdream commented 8 years ago

Will API about Data and Events have new alternatives?

chrismatthieu commented 8 years ago

Yes, we are working on a something called Data Forwarders now. These will allow you to stream data in realtime to your own data stores. This should be available in the next 2-3 weeks.

We've been slowly moving towards Meshblu 2.0 and decided not to port the Data and Events API forward. You can read more about Meshblu 2.0 at https://github.com/octoblu/meshblu/wiki/Overview. Like @chrismatthieu said we will provide a much better alternative that will allow you to capture your data in any datastore that you like.

If you'd like to build something yourself now, you can use the Server Side Subscriptions API to capture messages sent to/from your devices and redirect them to a device that can then log those messages to any datastore you'd like.
