NG GatewayNext-generation high-performance IoT gateway

Runtime hot-plug extensions, stable high throughput

Async Rust high-performance core

Built on tokio with structured concurrency and resource isolation, keeping throughput stable and predictable under heavy collection/forwarding workloads.

Architecture

🌊

Controlled backpressure & failure semantics

Bounded queues end-to-end + explicit failure strategies (timeout/retry/backoff/drop/block), preventing “slow” from turning into OOM and cascades (WAL replay is on the roadmap).

Failure semantics

🧠

Protocol batching algorithms

Built-in batch planning for Modbus / S7 and more, compressing point-by-point polling into a small number of requests to reduce RTT and device pressure.

Batch planning & tuning

🔌

Southward multi-protocol driver ecosystem

Hot-pluggable southward drivers at runtime, with built-in support for Modbus / S7 / IEC104 / OPC UA / EtherNet/IP and more.

Northward plugins & bidirectional links

Hot-pluggable northward plugins at runtime, with built-in integrations for ThingsBoard / Kafka / Pulsar / OPC UA Server and more.

🧬

UI auto-modeling & bulk import

Driver Metadata Schema renders forms and generates Excel templates automatically, enabling fast, consistent modeling for large-scale devices and points.

Schema & Excel

🛠️

Ops tuning & log governance

Runtime tuning (Collector/Southward/Northward) and per-channel/app log-level overrides with TTL—troubleshooting stays controlled and cost-effective.

Configuration

📈

Observability loop

Prometheus `/metrics` + UI WS aggregated metrics + real-time device snapshots, with standard troubleshooting SOP to pinpoint “collection/routing/uplink” bottlenecks.

All-in-one deployment & upgrades

A single service provides both Web UI (`/`) and API (`/api`), supports Docker/Helm deployments with persistent volumes, and offers a clear upgrade path.
