JetLinks is an enterprise-grade IoT platform built on Java, Spring Boot, WebFlux, Netty, Vert.x, and Reactor that provides a fully reactive architecture for managing connected devices at scale.
The platform addresses the complexity of building IoT systems by unifying device connection management across multiple protocols (TCP, MQTT, UDP, CoAP, HTTP) and manufacturers under a single device model. It abstracts away network programming complexity through protocol adapters while providing real-time data processing, device alarming, message notifications, and data forwarding capabilities. The reactive architecture built on Spring WebFlux and Project Reactor enables efficient handling of high-volume concurrent device connections.
JetLinks suits organizations building comprehensive IoT solutions that need to integrate heterogeneous devices and protocols without vendor lock-in. The platform's open-source nature and separation of frontend and backend with fully exposed APIs make it suitable for teams requiring deep customization. Deployment is relatively lightweight, requiring only Java 17, Redis, and TimescaleDB as core dependencies, though optional components like ElasticSearch and TDengine can be added for enhanced capabilities. The built-in rule engine handles device alerts and scenario automation through flexible configuration, and the data permission system provides granular control across menus, buttons, and individual data records.
The project maintains active development with passing continuous integration checks and code quality monitoring. The codebase demonstrates attention to security practices through vulnerability scanning. Documentation and community support are provided through multiple channels including product documentation and technical discussion groups. The platform is positioned for both direct deployment and secondary development by organizations seeking to build custom IoT business systems.
