IoT platforms are fundamentally different from traditional software.
They must handle:
Real-time data streams
Device reliability
Network instability
Key challenges in IoT development
Device authentication
Data consistency
Scalability
Architecture matters more than features
IoT systems must be:
Modular
Fault-tolerant
Easy to integrate with hardware
Why generic software teams struggle with IoT
Without IoT experience, teams underestimate:
Hardware constraints
Data volume
Long-term maintenance complexity
