  • 3 minute read

The Eclipse Foundation, the world’s largest open source foundation focused on the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced results from its 2021 IoT & Edge Developer Survey. Administered by the Eclipse IoT Working Group, the Eclipse Edge Native Working Group, and the Eclipse Sparkplug Working Group, the survey provides essential insights into IoT and edge computing industry landscapes, the challenges developers are facing, and the opportunities for enterprise stakeholders in the IoT & edge open source ecosystem. Now in its seventh year, the survey is the IoT & edge industry’s leading technical survey.

“The IoT and edge computing go hand-in-hand with each technology influencing the other,” said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. “Once again, this survey provides significant insights into what developers are working on and what challenges they face as we move into 2022.”

The online survey was conducted over a period of seven weeks (Aug 26, 2021 – October 12, 2021) during which time 662 global developers, committers, architects, and decision-makers from a broad set of industries and organizations participated. Key findings include:

  • Industrial automation has displaced smart agriculture as the leading vertical industry for IoT and edge computing technologies
  • Security (46%), connectivity (38%) and deployment (31%) are the top three concerns for IoT developers
  • C and C++ are the most widely used programming languages for constrained devices. Developers prefer Python over Java for edge servers, IoT & edge gateways, and cloud platform development
  • Artificial Intelligence (21%) remains the top edge computing workload, unchanged from 2020. However, the number of workloads diversified significantly.
  • The IoT middleware market is dominated by AWS IoT (37%), Microsoft Azure IoT (27%), and Google Cloud IoT Platform (22%)
  • Message Broker-MQTT (44%) is the top technology used in messaging infrastructure
