Building IoT Systems

Explore the world of IoT and discover how various methodologies are used to manage edge devices and data flow through different layers. This concise guide takes a practical approach to designing scalable IoT systems and how cloud computing helps to maintain them.

 With a keen eye on data flow, you’ll examine how to work with different components and how to process and store data. You’ll work with different protocols like MQTT and see how they can be used in combination with standard web protocols for managing IoT systems. Finally, you’ll look at key topics such as device management, event handling, OTA, device security, device-to-cloud communication, cloud-to-device communication, and more. 

This guide is your fast track to building IoT systems and gaining an in-depth understanding of the core components of edge and cloud computing.

What You Will Learn

• Build scalable IoT systems
• Find out how IoT components communicate
• Understand data pipelines in IoT

Who This Book Is For

Beginning to intermediate level readers who want to understand the process through which the data flows from an edge device to the cloud, to manage IoT systems.

Avirup Basu is a technologist, founder, and a digital transformation and innovation leader based out of India.
