We are living in the age of unprecedented industry disruption caused by a rapid speed of technological development, particularly in the area of the Internet of Things. IoT helps to transform industries into a data-driven paradigm, opening up vast opportunities. Fast IoT adoption is supported by companies which are transforming their business through technological innovation; manufacturers are providing low-cost and high-end devices and IoT platforms enabling device integration and management.

There are a lot of IoT tools and frameworks with different pros and cons present on the market, and it is a difficult choice to make. We believe that digital IoT adoption should turn towards flexible, reliable and cost-efficient platforms with minimal investment into infrastructure, software, knowledge, and employees.

To prove this concept, we decided to find out how to build an IoT solution from scratch with zero infrastructure and maintenance costs and little-to-no operating expense. This approach perfectly aligns with the cloud concepts such as pay for what you use, pay as you go and Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and serverless approaches.

To implement the concept, we employed Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud capabilities, as it is the most modern and innovative cloud on the market. Our project was to create device simulators reporting telemetry in real time and to have this information accessible in real time through the API.
