Layers in Detail

Each layer, with the docs you need

Where you start depends on the project. Use the SaaS, build with the SDK, or integrate the hardware directly — whichever path you take, the documentation is right here.

02 · Cloud Platform

obniz Cloud

The management plane that connects devices to apps

A unified API for managing tens of thousands of devices. Authentication, OTA delivery, device monitoring — all included. Hit it from REST, GraphQL, or WebSocket, or build on top with the SDKs.

03 · Operating System

obnizOS

The cloud-connected OS embedded on each device

Reconnect logic, key management, OTA updates, sleep/wake, and network connectivity — all handled by obnizOS. App developers never have to think about this layer.
