Irish Rail's three-person team built IRIS, a real-time railway monitoring platform that unifies IoT data from 50+ vendors across 2,500km of track using Grafana, TimescaleDB, and MQTT on Azure. The platform provides GIS-based dashboards and alerting for conditions like rail buckling and flooding, demonstrating how a small team can deliver production-grade infrastructure monitoring without enterprise-scale resources. This talk is for DevOps engineers, IoT developers, and infrastructure teams interested in building scalable monitoring systems with limited resources.
