AWS IoT
AWS IoT is a managed cloud platform from Amazon Web Services that enables secure, bidirectional communication between Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the AWS cloud. It provides services for device management, data ingestion, processing, and analytics, allowing developers to build scalable IoT applications without managing infrastructure. Key components include AWS IoT Core for device connectivity, AWS IoT Device Management for provisioning and monitoring, and AWS IoT Analytics for data processing.
Developers should learn AWS IoT when building scalable IoT solutions that require secure device connectivity, real-time data processing, and integration with other AWS services like Lambda, DynamoDB, or S3. It is ideal for use cases such as smart home systems, industrial monitoring, connected vehicles, and predictive maintenance, where handling millions of devices and processing high volumes of data efficiently is critical. Its pay-as-you-go pricing and serverless options make it cost-effective for prototyping and large-scale deployments.
