How to Break Your PostgreSQL IIoT Database and...

As engineers, we're taught to design for reliability. We do design calculations, run simulations, build and test prototypes, and even then we recognize that these are imperfect, so we include safety factors. When it comes to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) though, we rarely give the same level of scrutiny to the components that we rely on. What if we treated our IIoT database the same way we treated the physical things we produce? We build and design a prototype database, and then put i
