balena Integrations

The enterprise database for time series, documents, and vectors. Store any type data and combine the simplicity and scalability NoSQL with SQL. CrateDB is a distributed database that runs queries in milliseconds regardless of the complexity, volume, and velocity.

Experience a robust infrastructure for deploying and managing devices, all hosted by balena. Simply create your image, power it on, and watch as your fully set-up device appears seamlessly in your application. For quicker startup times, preload your image with your application code. Develop at web speed using tools you're already accustomed to. You have the flexibility to build your application in any language and distribution that suits your needs. Work locally for rapid feedback and make updates with a single command, ensuring your devices stay online and operational. If you're utilizing a microservices architecture, we fully support multi-container applications. Enjoy comprehensive insights into your devices' real-time status and activities. You can efficiently organize your fleet using tags and filters, and remotely configure and troubleshoot each device as needed. This streamlined approach not only saves time but also enhances overall efficiency.

The advent of containers is set to transform the landscape of connected devices, with balenaOS standing out as the premier solution for their deployment. Designed to endure challenging networking scenarios and sudden power losses, it is a stripped-down version of Linux that includes only the essential services for running Docker efficiently on embedded hardware. Built on the foundation of Yocto Linux, it allows for seamless adaptation across a wide range of device types and CPU architectures. The project is actively maintained in a transparent manner, fostering a community that is encouraged to contribute. In our initiative to create balenaCloud—a platform that integrates modern software development tools with connected hardware—we began by adapting Docker for ARM processors in 2013. This experience highlighted the necessity for a dedicated operating system tailored to this specific use case: a lightweight OS perfectly suited for executing containers on embedded devices. Furthermore, this focus on optimization ensures that developers can maximize the potential of their connected solutions.
