Google Cloud IoT
Google Cloud IoT is a suite of managed services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for connecting, managing, and processing data from Internet of Things (IoT) devices at scale. It provides tools for device registration, secure communication, data ingestion, and integration with other GCP services like BigQuery and Cloud Machine Learning Engine. The platform enables developers to build end-to-end IoT solutions, from edge devices to cloud analytics.
Developers should learn Google Cloud IoT when building scalable IoT applications that require secure device management, real-time data processing, and integration with Google's data analytics and AI services. It is particularly useful for industrial IoT, smart cities, connected vehicles, and remote monitoring systems where handling millions of devices and large data volumes is critical. The platform simplifies IoT infrastructure by offering managed services, reducing the need for custom backend development.
