Platform Architecture & Deployment
Flexible Deployment
Self-hosted on-premise or cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP). Supports Docker and Kubernetes for scalable microservices deployment.
Data Persistence
Time-series storage via PostgreSQL or Cassandra. Supports millions of data points with efficient querying and retention policies.
Rule Engine
Visual drag-and-drop rule chain editor. Trigger alerts, transform data, send emails/SMS, or call external APIs based on device telemetry.
Community Edition
Fully open-source under Apache 2.0 licence. Active global community with regular updates, plugins, and integration libraries.
Our Development Services
We Bridge the Gap: Community → Professional
While ThingsBoard Community Edition is feature-rich, the Professional Edition adds advanced capabilities. We provide custom development services to deliver equivalent functionality on top of the Community Edition — at a fraction of the licensing cost.
White-label & Custom Branding
Full UI customisation to match your corporate identity — logos, colour schemes, and custom domain.
Advanced Role & Access Management
Hierarchical multi-tenant access control with granular permissions tailored to your organisational structure.
Custom Integrations & Widgets
Bespoke dashboard widgets, third-party system integrations (ERP, SCADA, databases), and custom rule-chain nodes.
Feature Comparison
Community vs. CST-ITE Development
Our development approach delivers Professional-grade functionality on the open-source Community Edition — maximising value while minimising licensing overhead.

The Complete IoT Solution — Together
Three components, one unified ecosystem — from the field device to the cloud dashboard.
1
Field Layer
RFID tags track assets. DTU/RTU reads sensors and I/O, transmitting data over 4G/Wi-Fi via MQTT.
2
Connectivity Layer
Industrial 4G terminal bridges operational technology (OT) to IT networks securely and reliably.
3
Platform Layer
ThingsBoard aggregates telemetry, triggers rules, and presents real-time dashboards for full operational visibility.
