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
