Shifu is a Kubernetes native, production-grade, protocol & vendor agnostic IoT development framework. Its main features include:

_Kubernetes native_ — developing your application while managing your devices, spare the need for maintaining an additional O&M infrastructure

_Open Platform_\* — No vendor lock-in. You can easily deploy Shifu on the edge(from RaspberryPi to edge clusters) or on the cloud(public, private and hybrid cloud are all supported).

_Protocol agnostic_ — HTTP, MQTT, RTSP, Siemens S7, TCP socket, OPC UA…The microservice architecture of Shifu enables it to quickly adapt to new protocols.
