The survey, conducted by the Eclipse IoT Working Group, the Eclipse Edge Native Working Group and the Eclipse Sparkplug Working Group, provides insights into the IoT and edge computing industry landscape, the challenges facing developers and the opportunities for enterprise players in the IoT and edge open source ecosystem. Now in its seventh year, the survey is recognized as a leader in the IoT and Edge industry. This year's survey included 662 developers, committers, architects and decision makers from a wide range of industries and organizations worldwide. Key findings include:
- Industrial automation has replaced smart agriculture as the leading vertical for IoT and edge computing technologies.
- Security (46%), connectivity (38%) and deployment (31%) are the top three concerns of IoT developers.
- C and C++ are the most commonly used programming languages for constrained devices. Developers prefer Python over Java for edge servers, IoT and edge gateways and cloud platform development.
- Artificial intelligence (21%) remains the most important edge computing workload, unchanged from 2020. However, the number of workloads has diversified significantly.
- The IoT middleware market is dominated by AWS IoT (37%), Microsoft Azure IoT (27%) and Google Cloud IoT Platform (22%)
- Message Broker-MQTT (44%) is the most commonly used technology in the messaging infrastructure.
