What is dweet.io?

dweet.io is simple publishing and subscribing for machines, sensors, devices, robots, and gadgets (we just call them things). We call published messages ‘dweets’. It’s helpful to think of dweet.io as a Twitter for things, in fact.

We assign each thing a unique thing name (or you can assign your own if it’s available). Then a thing may be subscribed to, which is analogous to following someone in twitter.

How is dweet.io useful?

dweet.io enables your machine and sensor data to become easily accessible through a web based RESTful API, allowing you to quickly make apps or simply share data. Some examples of data that can be dweeted:

  • Public swimming pool temperature
  • Air quality information in a city
  • Traffic light status
  • Train GPS position

It looks so simple. Can I trust it in commercial and Enterprise deployments?

We believe that simplicity is the purest form of reliability and performance. dweet.io was built from day one for commercial and Enterprise deployments— because it's so simple, there is less to slow it down and less to break.

If you want even greater reliability, Email us to find out about our dedicated instances and SLA's.
