Abstract

The efficient deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and platforms necessitates flexible solutions. This paper proposes a technique that combines Dynamic RESTful API and Docker technologies to enhance the management, monitoring, and deployment of IoT devices. The Dynamic RESTful API facilitates real-time adjustments based on dynamic environmental conditions, enabling smooth interaction between devices and the deployment infrastructure. Docker, a lightweight containerization solution, simplifies deployment by encapsulating the application and dependencies while ensuring consistency across different environments. The paper presents a RESTful API framework and demonstrates its practicality in deploying IoT devices and systems. This solution addresses the adaptation concerns faced by traditional IoT devices and platforms. The presented framework illustrates how devices and systems can adapt to changing environments through dynamic API interactions, adjusting their behavior in response to parameter changes and design considerations. This work contributes to the body of knowledge on effective ioT deployment techniques and platforms by providing a practical framework leveraging Dynamic RESTful API and Docker technologies.
