Continuous Delivery of Software on IoT Devices

Given the dynamic environment and changing conditions on the Internet of Things (IoT), developers need to periodically update software and deploy new versions on smart devices and edge devices such as gateways. A software update can generate unforeseen downtimes, or can also alter the device resource consumption. Therefore, we propose an approach that deals with the need for (semi)automating deployment, monitoring and visualization of the impact of software updates on devices operation. We use modeling to abstract the concepts that matter in the domain of continuous software delivery for IoT devices. This abstraction was implemented on top of time series and document-oriented databases.
