Designing Production-Grade and Large-Scale IoT Solutions

By: Mohamed Abdelaziz

Overview of this book

With the rising demand for and recent enhancements in IoT, a developer with sound knowledge of IoT is the need of the hour. This book will help you design, build, and operate large-scale E2E IoT solutions to transform your business and products, increase revenue, and reduce operational costs. Starting with an overview of how IoT technologies can help you solve your business problems, this book will be a useful guide to helping you implement end-to-end IoT solution architecture. You'll learn to select IoT devices; real-time operating systems; IoT Edge covering Edge location, software, and hardware; and the best IoT connectivity for your IoT solution. As you progress, you'll work with IoT device management, IoT data analytics, IoT platforms, and put these components to work as part of your IoT solution. You'll also be able to build IoT backend cloud from scratch by leveraging the modern app architecture paradigms and cloud-native technologies such as containers and microservices. Finally, you'll discover best practices for different operational excellence pillars, including high availability, resiliency, reliability, security, cost optimization, and high performance, which should be applied for large-scale production-grade IoT solutions. By the end of this IoT book, you'll be confident in designing, building, and operating IoT solutions.

Other IoT analytics-related AWS services

The AWS IoT platform offers some services that cover business and technical areas needed for building a complete E2E IoT solution in AWS. In the next section, we will start with the AWS IoT Events service.

AWS IoT events

AWS IoT Events is a fully managed service that detects and responds to events from different IoT sensors, services, and applications.

You can say that AWS IoT Events is a fully managed implementation of a Complex Event Processing (CEP) architecture where the CEP engine aggregates, processes, and analyzes a massive stream of data or events to gain real-time insights from the events that occurred.

The definition of event here means a business event, such as a failure in equipment or fraud detection.

So, business domain experts can build a detection model for their business using the AWS IoT Events console by defining the input that the detection model needs to work upon, the logic that they need to apply on the...
