Some weeks ago we needed to upgrade our Cassandra version to a major release version in order to improve the QoS of our architecture. This post aims to group all steps that we use for upgrade our Cassandra cluster to a newer version. There are a […]

A year ago, I wrote Keep IoT simple, stupid where I was trying to explain that with thethings.iO we are trying to bring simplicity into the complex ecosystem of the Internet of Things. Store, analyze and visualize data should not be hard or need any specific team with knowledge on scaling machines, among others. This […]

Industry is getting into the Internet of Things, some call it Industry 4.0 some other use other names. The hard thing of the industry is that sometimes the companies still use old protocols, legacy machines and systems.
