Overview of this book

There is a lot of work that is being done in the IoT domain and according to Forbes the global IoT market will grow from $157B in 2016 to $457B by 2020. This is an amazing market both in terms technology advancement as well as money. In this book, we will be covering five popular IoT platforms, namely, AWS IoT, Microsoft Azure IoT, Google IoT Core, IBM Watson IoT, and Kaa IoT middleware. You are going to build solutions that will use a Raspberry Pi 3, a DHT11 Temperature and humidity sensor, and a dashboard to visualize the sensor data in real-time. Furthermore, you will also explore various components of each of the platforms that are needed to achieve the desired solution. Besides building solutions, you will look at how Machine Learning and IoT go hand in hand and later design a simple predictive web service based on this concept. By the end of this book, you will be in a position to implement an IoT strategy best-fit for your organization

Platform Comparisons

In the last nine chapters, we have gone through the world of IoT. We started off with the building blocks, and we moved on to the real-world applications of IoT. Then we experienced it's implementation on five different IoT platforms and looked at how to work with an end-to-end IoT solution and off-the-shelf platforms. We have also taken a quick plunge into IoT and machine learning using the Microsoft Azure platform.

In this last chapter of our enterprise IoT journey, we will compare and contrast the IoT platforms we have looked at and define the situations in which they would be suitable.

Topics covered in this chapter are:

  • What is an IoT platform?
  • Features of an IoT platform.
  • Comparison between AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google Cloud IoT, IBM IoT platform, and Kaa IoT.
