With the rising demand for and recent enhancements in IoT, a developer with sound knowledge of IoT is the need of the hour. This book will help you design, build, and operate large-scale E2E IoT solutions to transform your business and products, increase revenue, and reduce operational costs.
Starting with an overview of how IoT technologies can help you solve your business problems, this book will be a useful guide to helping you implement end-to-end IoT solution architecture. You'll learn to select IoT devices; real-time operating systems; IoT Edge covering Edge location, software, and hardware; and the best IoT connectivity for your IoT solution. As you progress, you'll work with IoT device management, IoT data analytics, IoT platforms, and put these components to work as part of your IoT solution. You'll also be able to build IoT backend cloud from scratch by leveraging the modern app architecture paradigms and cloud-native technologies such as containers and microservices. Finally, you'll discover best practices for different operational excellence pillars, including high availability, resiliency, reliability, security, cost optimization, and high performance, which should be applied for large-scale production-grade IoT solutions.
By the end of this IoT book, you'll be confident in designing, building, and operating IoT solutions.

Review
"This book thoroughly explores and discusses everything that designing a production-grade, large-scale IoT system involves. The topic of IoT is young: much is being said about it and things can change quickly. After having read hundreds of peer-reviewed journal articles on this topic, I am impressed with the level of detail and accuracy found in this book. Specific software, communication protocols, and system architecture are presented in an impressive and organized way. In addition to the specifics and the how to aspects of the book, the author also addresses the unavoidable yet difficult decisions that arise when designing a system such as this - for example, the decision of buying or building an IoT solution. I have seen large companies spend years making this one decision. This issue and many others are broken down piece by piece and discussed in a meaningful way. This tells me the author not only understands the technicalities of an IoT system, but the struggles of building one from a non-technical standpoint. Altogether, this book accomplishes what it sets out to do, in that it provides a comprehensive and practical guide to implementing end-to-end IoT solutions."
