I see that Nerves is starting to gain some real traction lately which is absolutely great (congrats to core team for their effort!), it made me want to revisit it for a more serious investigation. Thinking about potential projects, I realized that I have no idea where Nerves is used for real-world projects.
It would be great to hear on what kind of fields there are already existing solutions?
It would also be interesting to know what is the most widely used hardware in production, because while Nerves seems to support all RPIs, I have my doubts that a lot of businesses would use their chips in production, as they are not very flexible with their supply costs and quantity.
And at last, the most important question would be where a Nerves solution would be superior from the ones already existent on the market? I have a feeling that ingesting sensor data and transforming it into a server-side protocol like JSON would be very powerful, but it would be nice to see a concrete use-case.
Thanks!
