We intend to develop a resilient, secure and easy-to-use platform to support the development of applications for Smart Environments.We faced great difficulties in using the platforms for IoT, which led us to question the existing models and architecture. In partnership with Albérico, we saw an excellent opportunity to create a solution with the initial purpose of supporting startups, developers and researchers in projects that use FIWARE.To gain recognition, we first decided to create an integration and orchestration interface for modules and services to make the use of FIWARE simple and easy, as well as help spread this fascinating platform to anyone who wants to innovate and build their applications.Helix Sandbox is our first step toward Helix Nebula platform and integrates the essentials for the development of smart applications. Our platform enables you to deploy the major FIWARE components in any virtualization or cloud computing environment.Try the Helix sandbox and enjoy its facilities!
