Device scale
The number of measuring points and reporting frequency determine the minimum server throughput.
EnviroSense
EnviroSense Server Variants
The EnviroSense server is selected according to installation scale, transmission frequency, data type, reporting requirements and the customer’s maintenance capabilities. The same system can start with a light variant and later move to a stronger architecture.

How we select the backend
Data character
Current readings, long-term trends and historical reports may require different database engines.
Maintenance model
The server variant must fit the IT team’s skills, backup policy and service-monitoring approach.
Integration needs
If data is to feed customer systems, backend selection includes APIs, exports and analytical queries.

STARTER
PHP
- simple installation and quick launch
- good choice for pilots and small networks
- low infrastructure entry threshold
- can be expanded in a later stage
- clear basis for device testing
Best fit: pilots, laboratories, schools and demonstration installations
HYBRID
PHP + .so
- PHP supported by a native extension
- more efficient cryptographic operations
- variant for VPS and LAMP/LEMP environments
- larger performance reserve than pure PHP
- good balance between simplicity and scaling
Best fit: medium deployments with classic web infrastructure
RELATIONAL
C++ + MariaDB
- native application backend
- relational storage for data and alerts
- predictable maintenance model
- variant for private infrastructure
- easier administration for teams familiar with MySQL/MariaDB
Best fit: companies and institutions with relational data infrastructure
ADVANCED
C++ + PostgreSQL
- advanced SQL queries
- reporting and business integrations
- control over structure and retention
- solid basis for operational analytics
- variant for organisations with their own IT team
Best fit: deployments requiring reports, integrations and data control
LIVE
C++ + Redis
- fast access to current data
- cache for dashboards and operator views
- high performance under many reads
- good choice for live previews
- can operate as a supporting layer
Best fit: systems with intensive live monitoring
TIMESERIES
C++ + InfluxDB
- natural support for time-series data
- trends, history and aggregations
- efficient writes for measurement series
- strong basis for environmental reporting
- variant for extensive sensor networks
Best fit: long-term monitoring and trend analysis
