NIC — IoT Analytics Platform | مركز المعلومات الوطني

🎯 Platform Purpose | الغرض من المنصة

This platform provides real-time monitoring and analytics for NIC/SADAIA's distributed IoT sensor network. Industrial sensors across multiple floors stream telemetry data — including temperature, vibration, and power readings — into Google Cloud's managed data infrastructure. The platform enables operations teams to monitor device health, detect anomalies, and maintain full visibility across the sensor fleet in real time.

⚡ Real-Time Ingestion

Sensor readings are ingested every 2 seconds via the Ingest microservice on GKE, written directly to Cloud Bigtable — Google's high-throughput NoSQL database designed for time-series data at scale.

🗄️ Device Registry

All registered devices and their metadata (location, type, status) are stored in Cloud Spanner — a globally consistent relational database — ensuring accurate device inventory at all times.

🔒 Secure by Design

All inter-service communication is encrypted using mutual TLS (mTLS) enforced by Anthos Service Mesh. The platform runs on a private GKE cluster with no public node IPs, following GCP security best practices.
