BalenaCloud is a robust, container-based platform designed for the comprehensive deployment and management of Internet of Things (IoT) device fleets. It offers a complete infrastructure solution, hosted by balena, that simplifies the entire lifecycle of IoT devices from initial provisioning to ongoing remote management. The platform enables seamless device setup, allowing users to quickly add and configure devices by simply writing an image and powering them up, with options to preload application code for faster startup. For developers, BalenaCloud provides modern tools that facilitate rapid prototyping and testing of new features. It supports iterative development at "web speed" with familiar technologies, allowing applications to be built in any chosen language and deployed across a wide range of devices, including Raspberry Pi, Intel NUC, and Nvidia Jetson TX2. Local development capabilities ensure fast feedback loops. Leveraging Docker container technology, BalenaCloud ensures safe, secure, and reliable updates for deployed devices. This container-centric approach streamlines application deployment and management across diverse hardware. The platform also offers powerful remote fleet management capabilities, providing full visibility into real-time device status and activity from anywhere in the world. Users can organize their fleets using tags and filters, access device logs, and remotely configure or troubleshoot individual devices, as well as perform group actions. BalenaCloud is built on free and open-source software, offering extensible, powerful, and easy-to-use building blocks for creating custom device deployment and management platforms. It is designed to help organizations create and manage massive fleets of small devices efficiently and securely.
