The VANTIQ Developer Edition is a free version of the VANTIQ platform available on the AWS Marketplace. It provides full access to the core features: Experience real-time data processing; event-driven architecture; integration of Generative AI (AWS Bedrock and SageMaker) into real-time applications; integrate RAG using the built-in Vector Database; visual development environment -- All within the AWS cloud infrastructure.
The VANTIQ Developer Edition on AWS Marketplace is a golden opportunity for developers to dive into the world of real-time, event-driven application development. With zero costs and a plethora of resources at their fingertips, developers can innovate, learn, and prepare for the demands of the modern digital world. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, the VANTIQ Developer Edition is your gateway to the future of application development.
Highlights
- Vantiq excels in handling real-time data streams and event processing. It allows developers to build applications that can react instantly to events, and complex scenarios. Uses a service-based approach, that supports event-driven asynchronous interfaces and synchronous interfaces. Support for in-memory state for managing high-performance complex event interactions. The Low-code IDE allows developers to design, and develop with minimal coding (90% graphical), speeding up the development process.
- Vantiq automatically prompts Generative AI to amplify contextual insights in real-time situations. Enables dynamic communication between Machine-to-Machine and Machine-to-Human interactions and orchestrates across multiple LLMs with patented voting/consensus algorithms. Empowers real-time decision-making and business automation.
- Integrate and orchestrate AI (Generative AI, Computer Vision, Machine Learning), IoT Data, and existing systems. Out-of-the-box support for AWS Bedrock and SageMaker LLMs as well as OpenAI and other LLMs. Inbuilt support for RAG using a Vector Database. Supports 160+ integrations and provides SDK and API to allow developers to provide custom integrations. Ease of integration with external Rest-based services.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Server Enhancements
VAIL The return type of a procedure can now include the sequence modifier. Doing this allows callers to receive the procedure results as they are produced (a process known as "streaming"). AI Support External Semantic Indexes are a new feature that allows you to create a Semantic Index that is backed by an external data source. This allows you to use the Vantiq Semantic Search capabilities with data that is not stored in Vantiq. See the External Semantic Indexes documentation for more information. The Chat Message builders have been expanded to support prompts used by "multi-modal" LLMs. Semantic search now handles Qdrant's filter language.

Usage instructions
To login into the platform for the first time go to https://<EC2_Instance_Public_DNS>
To SSH to your ec2 instance use the ec2-user rather than root.
The initial startup may take ~5 minutes as the system needs to configure itself. If you get a 502 - Bad Gateway - error from nginx on the initial startup them retry in a few minutes.
The initial configuration uses a self-signed certificate. It is possible to install a Lets Encrypt certificate, please see below for access to detailed instructions on using Lets Encrypt.
The initial login username and password are 'system' and 'fxtrt$1492'. Please change the system password as soon as possible. Instructions for changing the system password, setting up an organization and developer namespaces can either be found in the documentation - https://dev.vantiq.com/docs/system/vantiqedge/#setting-up-vantiq-edge or in the Knowledge Bot that should appear at the bottom of the browser window once you have logged in.
For details about setting up a Lets Encrypt HTTPS Certificate, please review the /opt/vantiq/readme.txt file which contains detailed instructions for various maintenance and configuration tasks.

Customer reviews
Vantiq enhanced our development efficiency and made our deployment process more straightforward.
Vantiq’s extension sources, client builder, and configurable event-based services have allowed us to build our application entirely within a single environment, simplifying development. Being able to deploy both on edge and on cloud has also proven invaluable in enabling us to fit a wider variety of use cases.
The modularity of services, procedures, and activity patterns has made the development process for new features much more straightforward, while also allowing for as much complexity as we need.
Vantiq’s support team is consistent and helpful, answering our questions and resolving our issues quickly and clearly. In fact, we often find that Vantiq has already implemented a solution to the problem we have. Periodic releases of Vantiq often include useful features, as well as bug fixes and other improvements.
Our current project makes use of extension sources, and while we have the capability to create our own or take advantage of custom workarounds, having access to a wider variety of extension sources would cut down on development time significantly.
Vantiq also offers training courses, which are great for learning the platform; however, we've discovered that additional project work is necessary to fully understand the platform's numerous features and intricacies.
Vantiq saved us time and resources in getting our solution out to market
We needed to build a real-time streaming application that required:
- Persistent Storage
- Stateless and Stateful Services
- Streaming of data in/out of the application at high rates
- Complex event processing of data streams
- API Management
- Web and Mobile client development
- Support of a distributed and federated deployment environment
- Highly secure environment
- Audit and Reporting
Probably more, though many solutions can do one or maybe two of these, it requires us to have many "experts" on each, which is time and money.
Vantiq provides us support for all our essential features in each of these products in one platform. Additionally, we can quickly build and reuse the functionality in the cloud or at the edge - not requiring any additional development—one codebase.
Vantiq does take time to become proficient - though it is offering a lot of features and would take a lot of time to investigate and learn each of the individual solutions as well. One could always use more examples and recommendations :).
Vantiq offers both public and private cloud offerings. You can use the public cloud for smaller, simpler applications, but if you require more resources, I would recommend using their private cloud.
