About this Report
In this report we take a look at developers working on edge IIoT projects. We begin by identifying the different types of developers working on edge projects - we also look at the experience levels, professional involvement, and home region of edge specialists. Next, we examine the capabilities of edge projects, and which capabilities are often integrated together. Chapter three takes a step back from the edge and examines where edge developers run their processes, as well as which programming languages are used by developers working on on-device workloads. Finally, we take a closer look at security, looking at which security protocols are used, and how edge developers’ target market affects their security decisions.
