Web of things servers for the cloud

[draggett]

This is to track proposals for implementing open source Web of Things servers for the cloud. I would expect these to be separate GitHub projects, but to share a common test framework.

The idea is to create highly scalable, lightweight and fast servers. It would make sense to start from existing open source servers. Some questions to be addressed include

• What open source projects to start from?
• Which programming language to use, e.g. C, C++, Java, Go, C#, etc.?
• Which scripting languages to support, e.g. JavaScript, Lua, Python, .etc.?
• Which protocols to support in addition to HTTP, e.g. Web Sockets, CoAP, MQTT, XMPP, AMQP?

If you are starting such a project please post a response to this issue telling us about your project and including a link to it.

I am developing State Machines as a Service (SMaaS), an SCXML microservices platform for the Internet of Things.

W3C SCXML can be used to derive intelligence from IoT sensor networks [0]. SMaaS specifies an HTTP and REST-based protocol for interacting with SCXML over a network. SCXMLD is a SMaaS server based on NodeJS and the SCION SCXML implementation, which allows SCXML to be operationalized in the cloud to support large-scale IoT deployments of millions of devices.
