Durable, offline-first telemetry delivery for edge gateways

edgekeep

An embedded Python library that gives IoT gateways a persistent, SQLite-backed outbox for telemetry - so an unreliable network never means lost or duplicated data.

The promise: no datapoint lost, no datapoint duplicated, disk never fills.

Why

Edge gateways lose connectivity - for minutes, sometimes for days. When they do, telemetry either vanishes, or floods back on reconnect as duplicates, or a hand-rolled buffer quietly fills the SD card. Most teams rebuild the same store-and-forward logic from scratch, and most get at least one of the failure modes wrong.

edgekeep does it once, properly: telemetry is committed to a local outbox (the keep) before your publish call returns, replayed in order after reconnect, deduplicated with idempotency keys, and bounded so an outage can never exhaust local storage — with an honest at-least-once delivery contract rather than a false exactly-once promise.

Status

Early development — not usable yet. The design is settled; the code is being built in the open. Watch the repo or check edgekeep.dev for progress toward v0.1.
