Mir
Welcome to Mir IoT Hub 🛰️
Build connected devices with Mir, an all battery included platform
Imagine deploying thousands of IoT devices without worrying about message routing, data storage, or real-time monitoring. That’s Mir – a battle-tested IoT platform that handles the complex infrastructure so you can focus on what matters: your devices and data.
🎯 Why Mir?
In the world of IoT, every project starts simple but quickly becomes complex:
- “How do I handle millions of sensor readings per second?”
- “How can I remotely control devices across unreliable networks?”
- “How do I manage device configurations at scale?”
Mir answers these questions with a production-ready platform that scales from your laptop to the cloud.
🚀 What Makes Mir Special?
1. All Batteries Included Platform
Mir includes everything you need to run a production IoT system out of the box:
- Storage: Time-series database for telemetry, graph database for device metadata, and persistent key-value stores for local persistance on devices
- UI & Visualization: Pre-built Grafana dashboards, powerful CLI with terminal UI, and real-time data streaming views
- Monitoring & Observability: Built-in Prometheus metrics, health checks for all services, and comprehensive event logging
- Developer Tools: Local development, DeviceSDK for device development, ModuleSDK to extend server side capabilities, and virtual device simulators
- Security: TLS encryption and device authentication
- Scalability: Horizontal scaling, load balancing, and clustering support built-in
2. Three Paths to Device Communication
Not all IoT data is created equal. Mir provides purpose-built channels for different needs:
- 🔥 Telemetry: Stream sensor data at lightning speed
- 🔄 Commands: Control devices with guaranteed delivery
- ⚙️ Configuration: Manage device state with digital twins
2. Zero to Development in Minutes
# Start infrastructure
mir infra up
# Launch server
mir serve
# Your IoT platform is ready! 🎉
3. Developer-First Experience
- Powerful CLI & TUI: Manage everything from your terminal
- Auto-Generated Dashboards: Visualize data instantly in Grafana
- Type-Safe SDKs: Protocol Buffers prevent integration errors
No need to wire together multiple tools or build custom infrastructure – Mir provides a complete, integrated solution from day one.
5. Built on Giants
- NATS: Ultra-fast messaging backbone
- InfluxDB: Purpose-built for time-series data
- SurrealDB: Graph database for device relationships
- Grafana: Beautiful dashboards out of the box
- Prometheus: System monitoring
