IoT in modern web development

Abstract

In recent years, the IoT space has grown tremendously. Today, many IoT devices that previously existed only as a theoretical concept are now readily available on the market. In addition, significant achievements are available in the field of web development. The latest front-end technologies such as React, Angular, and Node.js have matured and become quite understandable. There are many open source IoT platforms to bring technology to life and link IoT and web development. Building web applications using the Internet of Things requires not only additional tools, but also high qualifications and related technical skills. Developers must be prepared not only for the implementation of web projects, but also for the implementation of IoT projects. As a conclusion, we can get that companies will encourage developers to enter the IoT field in order to get a larger share of the profit. This article analyzes the development of modern web applications for IoT devices. The study found that by increasing the performance that the IoT ecosystem provides, you can get a fairly high level of savings. In one of its articles, Wired described one of the most important IoT issues. It is a concept in which not all devices need to be connected to the Internet. Each device should only collect and exchange data if it is really needed. A specific purpose, based on customer utility, may be the only reason the device connects to the Internet [9]. When it comes to the Internet of Things in manufacturing, embedded sensors can improve efficiency and significantly reduce material manufacturing costs. For example, a company called Concrete Sensors uses a device integrated in concrete to monitor the condition of a material. His innovation saves customers approximately $365,000 per floor for an investment of only $30,000. Either way, connected devices need an endpoint that will retrieve, process, and display data. Mobile apps are now mainly used as endpoints for streaming music, entertaining users, or to help them interact with their friends via social media. However, mobile apps can also act as a gateway [10].
