Hi everyone, I’m building a real-time IoT data pipeline in Julia to process and analyze sensor information from home automation devices. Has anyone here implemented a production-ready Julia pipeline for live IoT feeds? I’d appreciate any insights on structuring buffer management, selecting suitable serialization protocols, or maintaining performance under variable data rates.

Can you indicate on what kind of hardware this is supposed to run? Which CPU, how many cores, how much RAM?

And what do you mean with realtime? Hard realtime, soft realtime, which delay/ jitter is acceptable?
