Powerful IoT device management made simple

Balena is a container-based IoT device management platform that enables developers to build, deploy, and manage fleets of Linux-based edge devices at scale. It provides OTA updates, a full API and SDK, OS updates, and security tooling from provisioning through decommissioning. The platform supports 80+ device types and is used by companies managing fleets ranging from small deployments to hundreds of thousands of devices.
Balena runs a container-optimized OS on devices, allowing developers to push code via CLI or CI/CD pipelines that automatically build and deploy containerized applications across entire device fleets with OTA updates.
