IoT ingestion architecture showing edge sensors sending MQTT to IoT Core, routed by IoT Rules to Kinesis, processed by Lambda, and saved to Timestream.
IoT ingestion architecture showing edge sensors sending MQTT to IoT Core, routed by IoT Rules to Kinesis, processed by Lambda, and saved to Timestream.

What it shows

  • AWS IoT Core terminates lightweight MQTT connections securely via mTLS.
  • IoT Rules engine filters and fans out payloads without provisioning servers.
  • Buffer bursts into Kinesis Data Streams before saving to Timestream DB.

The takeaway

Decouple edge MQTT ingestion from storage using serverless IoT rules and stream buffers.
