About this listen
This discussion explores the cloud-based IoT Platform, the central nervous system for collecting, processing, and extracting actionable intelligence from IoT devices. Most IoT platforms are a specialized form of Platform as a Service (PaaS), providing pre-built services for device connectivity and management that accelerate development. Major cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT, Microsoft Azure IoT, and Google Cloud IoT are analyzed, each offering unique strengths in features, enterprise integration, and data analytics. Platforms like Blynk, designed for ease of use and rapid development, are discovered, and the data lifecycle in an IoT platform, from data ingestion to processing and storage, is understood. The role of real-time and batch analytics in IoT is explored, along with how Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) act as the essential glue that holds the distributed system together. The cloud-based IoT platform is recognized as the strategic center of gravity for any serious IoT deployment, acting as the digital brain that brings intelligence and value to the data generated by connected devices.
