Siemens Mendix for IoT: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Mendix is a low-code platform for building enterprise applications, including IoT applications. In the vendor's IoT example, a partner combined Mendix with LoRa sensors to build a crop-management app that processes JSON sensor messages, shows dashboards by day, week or month, and sends email alerts. Siemens offers a Mendix on Edge plug-in for Mendix Studio Pro so that automation engineers can build apps and deploy them to Siemens Industrial Edge devices. Mendix Cloud is built on Amazon Web Services and is available in multiple regions worldwide; for licensed apps the customer chooses the region.

Mendix was founded in Rotterdam in 2005 and has been owned by Siemens since 2018; the site's copyright holder is Siemens Industry Software Netherlands B.V. The platform is proprietary. The public documentation read does not list the European regions, so confirm the available region beforehand. Because the infrastructure comes from AWS, the jurisdiction of the cloud provider also plays a part.
