Build your next IoT product with proven technology
Hardware doesn’t have to be hard. Nerves makes edge computing easier by solving the most complex infrastructure problems. Let Nerves take care of the network, discovery, I/O, firmware updates, and more. Focus your team on what matters — writing robust and maintainable software.
Scalable
Nerves is written in Elixir, but you don’t have to rewrite everything in Elixir to get the advantages of Nerves — simply bring your own code (like C, C++, Python, Rust, and more) and scale up.
Higher Reliability & Uptime
Nerves uses the Erlang runtime system, known for being distributed, fault-tolerant, soft real-time, and highly available.
Adaptable
Nerves has the tools you need to manage every stage of your IoT project — the Nerves Project to build and customize, and NervesHub to deploy and manage your fleets of devices.
Secure
Avoid hidden bugs and vulnerabilities with Nerves' secure opt-in approach to building. Nerves starts minimal and guides you towards security best practices.
Agile
Nerves helps you bring the principles of agile development to your IoT development cycle. Because Nerves runtime is immutable, Nerves also brings agility to long-term maintenance.
