Making IoT work with serverless functions

By Srushtika Neelakantam

Elevator Pitch

With apps becoming increasingly data-heavy and event-driven, it’s not only necessary to scale as needed but do so within mere milliseconds. In this talk, we’ll look at making IoT work with serverless functions and also see a real-world use-case to establish the simplicity of this combination.

Description

If it’s not scalable, it’s not worth building!?

With applications becoming increasingly data-heavy and event-driven, it’s not only necessary to be able to scale as needed but do so within mere milliseconds. IoT apps more often than not have varying traffic as the data really depends on the environment and real-events around these devices. In such a case, IoT and serverless functions make up the best combination in building modern event-driven applications.

In this talk, we’ll look at how to make IoT work with serverless functions. We’ll also look at the implementation of a real-world use-case to establish the simplicity of making this happen.
