Build Real-time IoT Solutions Using Python, Edge, and Docker Tools.
Key Features
● Explore real-world IoT use-cases using Python and edge computing.
● Hands-on projects on embedded devices like Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano.
● Learn edge-cloud integration, Docker, and protocols such as MQTT and CoAP.
● Covers security, streaming data, and future edge computing trends.
Book Description
The Internet of Things (IoT) is reshaping the way the world collects, processes, and responds to data-from smart homes and wearables to autonomous vehicles and industrial automation. As the demand for fast, secure, and intelligent data handling grows, edge computing becomes a key enabler, pushing computation closer to the source and reducing latency, cloud dependency, and security risks.
Practical IoT Edge Computing with Python equips readers with a complete, hands-on roadmap to build robust, real-time IoT systems, using edge devices and Python. You will begin by understanding the core concepts of IoT, and the limitations of traditional cloud-based models. Thus, step by step, you will move through building an IoT data pipeline, integrating edge and cloud, and deploying on devices like Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano, as well as working with protocols such as MQTT and CoAP.
You will also gain practical experience with data preprocessing, edge intelligence, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and security measures like blockchain. Each chapter builds your confidence to design scalable, secure, and responsive IoT systems.
Hence, whether you are a student, developer, or industry professional, this book offers the tools and knowledge to turn IoT concepts into fully functioning edge solutions.

About the Authors
Dr. Rajasi Tushar Athawale is a voluntary research associate in Mobile Sensing and Intelligence Security (MoSIS Lab), University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA, working under Dr. Jian Liu. She also conducts independent research on IoT systems integrating ML/AI and edge computing. Her current research focuses on wearable and contactless gait analysis using multi-task transformer architectures to predict running gait parameters from low-cost IMU data. These models are optimized for real-time deployment on edge devices such as Raspberry Pi 4 and Jetson Nano.
Rajasi completed her Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT) Allahabad in 2024. Her doctoral dissertation, "Design and Implementation of Edge-based Framework for Smart Monitoring of Public Restrooms in Developing Countries," presents a Python-based system that adaptively fuses heterogeneous data and user feedback while handling network constraints and power outages.
