Analyze pricing differences among various cloud vendors.
Analyze pricing differences among various cloud vendors. The base infrastructure cost is important, but there is an even more critical factor - how do the cloud costs change compared to the growth of the customer base? A reliable cloud provider will not consume all your margins once your IoT solution gains popularity and generates a heavy load on the cloud side. That is often an often-overlooked risk for IoT cloud deployments, which can turn a successful business into bankruptcy.
IoT Solution Reliability Checklist: Ensuring High Availability and Seamless Connectivity! 📱💡
✅ Endpoint High Availability: Ensure that the IoT platform endpoint is highly available for uninterrupted connectivity with devices and external applications. Implement load balancing and multi-region deployment for maximum uptime.
✅ Fallback Endpoint and Switching Logic: Prepare for unexpected disruptions by exposing a fallback endpoint and implementing switching logic in devices. Reduce outage risks during major breakdowns by seamlessly transitioning to the backup endpoint.
✅ Quality of Service (QoS) Levels: Prioritize essential messages using appropriate QoS levels to guarantee reliable delivery. Avoid overflows caused by non-critical telemetry messages during communication outages.
✅ Reliable Storage for Inbound Messages: Store inbound messages in reliable storage before processing to prevent data loss in case of backend application failure. Utilize message queues or databases for secure and durable storage.
✅ Automatic Credentials Rotation: Implement automatic credentials rotation to bolster security and prevent unauthorized access to devices. Use a certificate authority or a key management service for secure credential management....
Eclipse IoT report.
My take on the state of IoT based on the Eclipse IoT report:
0. IoT has matured and is ready for significant adoption.
1. The importance of Edge Computing is evident to stakeholders.
2. Organizations are ready for larger-scale IoT deployments (>10k assets)....
Data Proxy - the often-overlooked potential of a Digital Twin.
In my previous article, I covered the Data Structure aspect of the Digital Twin. Unfortunately, the Data Structure alone does not provide tangible business value.
What is really interesting is how the state of a monitored entity changes over time. I described a simplified explanation of this concept in today's article.
How could you leverage the Data Proxy capability of the Digital Twin in your solutions?
...
How could you utilize the Edge Gateway for your business?
Legacy systems functioned in isolated environments (for example, a factory or research facility) without the need for cyber security and remote access.
Edge Gateways add modern features on top of earlier solutions, including:
- Contemporary protocols enabling secure communication over the internet....
What would make you use a public cloud in your IoT deployments?
There are cases when it is hard (or too expensive) to avoid leveraging the public cloud in IoT solutions. One such scenario is when you provide global services - building and managing worldwide distributed infrastructure introduces a significant effort and might disturb your operations.
What else would make you use a public cloud in your IoT deployments?...
Digital Twin - the Data Structure aspect
Designing a Data Structure for a Digital Twin (DT) is an iterative, manual process. We extend the Data Structure to improve the functionalities provided by DT.
In this article, I described a sample approach to designing a Data Structure for a Digital Twin. It might look overly simplified, but there is a lot of value in that deceptively simple structure.

Building IoT solutions using open-source
Is it possible to build a commercial IoT solution using open-source components? What options should we consider? Can we self-host an IoT Platform, or should we use cloud infrastructure?
Those are only a few exciting topics we are going to discuss with Frédéric Desbiens, the Embedded, IoT, and Edge Computing Program Manager at the Eclipse Foundation.
Frédéric wrote a book about building IoT solutions using open-source, which I highly recommend (https://a.co/d/fKnxKBn)....
