Hello Retool Community!
I’m currently working on a project that involves edge computing and I’m curious about how to effectively integrate Retool with edge solutions for real-time data processing. As edge computing becomes more prevalent, particularly in industries like IoT, manufacturing, healthcare, and smart cities, real-time data processing at the edge is crucial for reducing latency and bandwidth use. However, combining this with Retool to create responsive, real-time dashboards and controls seems like it could be a complex challenge.
I’m dealing with multiple edge devices (think sensors, gateways, IoT nodes) that are continuously streaming data. The data needs to be processed as close to the source as possible to ensure low latency. The processed data should then be fed into Retool for real-time visualization and interaction.
For example:
- Sensors at the edge collect environmental data (e.g., temperature, humidity).
- Edge gateways process this data locally to generate alerts or trigger actions.
- This data needs to be sent to a Retool dashboard for monitoring, visualization, and potentially controlling edge devices based on the processed information.
If you’ve integrated Retool with any edge computing platforms, whether for real-time IoT data, local data processing, or even control of edge devices, I’d love to hear your experiences. What worked well for you? What didn’t? And what key lessons should I keep in mind while moving forward with this integration?
Looking forward to hearing your insights and ideas!
Thanks!
