Industrial IoT platform

Observability and platform components for a hybrid-cloud manufacturing platform.

Details anonymised · figures describe my own work

Overview

A hybrid-cloud Kubernetes platform connecting a manufacturer's production plants and shared by several tenants for telemetry-driven operations. I worked on observability, platform components and rollout readiness.

The problem

Many tenants and heterogeneous telemetry sources needed consistent monitoring, a standard way to add platform components, and database changes that could be rolled out safely.

The approach

Real-time telemetry ingestion over MQTT and Kafka, a shared Prometheus and Grafana stack with standardized dashboards, and reusable cluster add-ons delivered through Helm and GitOps with FluxCD. Database migrations ran through Flyway and containerized tooling so they could be repeated.

Highlights

  1. Built the Prometheus and Grafana observability stack and the dashboards tenants share
  2. Worked on real-time telemetry ingestion with HiveMQ and Kafka
  3. Added reusable cluster components that cut per-tenant setup effort
  4. Made database migrations repeatable with Flyway
