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.

Chapter 8: IoT Application Architecture Paradigms

In large-scale and production-grade IoT solutions, you will find that most of the architecture, design, and development discussions, workshops, and efforts are focused on the IoT cloud or the IoT backend cloud and its different components and solutions that ultimately serve to deliver fully fledged IoT solutions and products to customers and end users.

Earlier in the book, we covered the IoT cloud and the IoT backend cloud in some detail. We looked at the infrastructure, solutions, and software components of the IoT cloud, although, to some extent, we focused on the kind known as the serverless IoT cloud, where most of the IoT cloud services and solutions are provided out of the box by the IoT cloud provider or vendor. However, we did mention the option of building IoT backend cloud solutions from scratch if needed. In this chapter, we will deep dive into some application architectures and design paradigms that will help you as...
