What is FIWARE ?
FIWARE is an open software platform for the creation of innovative Cloud-based applications and services. It brings both powerful and easy to use modules that allow developers to quickly and cost-effectively build their applications.
These public and royalty free components, called Generic Enablers (GEs), provide open standard APIs that make it easier for :
- The development of Context-Aware applications
- Connecting to the Internet of Things
- Processing data and media in Real-Time at large scale
- Performing BigData analysis or incorporate advanced user interface capabilities
- Security
- and many more
Availability of open source Generic Enabler implementations (GEis) will accelerate availability of multiple commercial FIWARE providers, all supporting the same set of APIs. As a result, FIWARE becomes an open alternative to existing proprietary Internet platforms. Therefore you’ll be able to decide who will operate the environment where your application and, even more important, your data will be hosted.
DO YOU WANT TO START USING FIWARE RIGHT NOW?
If you are an application developer, you can gradually incorporate FIWARE GEs in the architecture of your application to transform it into a truly smart application.
