Use Cases

For Section 12 - Examples & Use Cases

We need to provide a few examples that demonstrate start to finish:

**Example 1 — Standalone Deployment with MQTT**
A standalone deployment with random timestamp/value data coming in via MQTT.

This example demonstrates:
1. How to install a standalone AnyLog agent with the default configs, with random data flowing in via MQTT.
2. Attaching to and detaching from the node.
3. Simple queries via the CLI and REST.

**Example 2 — Node Monitoring & Network Testing**

A small network — master, operator, and query as independent agents on the same machine — with monitoring data flowing in.

This example demonstrates:
1. How to install multiple nodes, and understanding LEDGER_CONN.
2. Inserting data via a scheduled process — node/Docker monitoring and syslog monitoring.
3. Querying the data.

**Example 3 — Smart City Demo**

Replicates our Smart City demo.

This example demonstrates:
1. Installing a small network with 3 operators, including directions on using Postgres.
2. Querying across nodes.
3. Using MCP and an LLM to generate dashboards.

**Example 4 — Live Video Streaming**
