Azure IoT Hub vs lelylan: What are the differences?

Azure IoT Hub: Connect, monitor, and manage billions of IoT assets. Use device-to-cloud telemetry data to understand the state of your devices and define message routes to other Azure services without writing any code. In cloud-to-device messages, reliably send commands and notifications to your connected devices and track message delivery with acknowledgement receipts. Device messages are sent in a durable way to accommodate intermittently connected devices; lelylan: Open Source Lightweight Microservices Architecture for the Internet of Things. The Lelylan platform is both hardware-agnostic and platform-agnostic. This means that you can connect any hardware, from the ESP8266 to the most professional embedded hardware solution and everything in between - and it can run on any public cloud, your own private datacenter, or even in a hybrid environment, whether virtualized or bare metal.

Azure IoT Hub and lelylan can be primarily classified as "Internet of Things Services" tools.
