As a consultant, I successfully designed and deployed a pure cloud, serverless data ingestion and analytics pipeline for a client with a global network of IoT sensors. The client's primary challenge was managing a massive, real-time stream of temperature and humidity data from thousands of devices without a scalable and cost-effective solution.
My solution leveraged a fully managed, pay-as-you-go architecture to ingest, process, and analyze this data. Using Amazon Kinesis, I built a robust ingestion stream that could handle high-volume data spikes without manual intervention. AWS Lambda was then used to create serverless functions that automatically triggered, cleaned, and transformed the raw data. This transformed data was then stored in Amazon Redshift Serverless, a scalable data warehouse.
The final piece of the solution was creating a real-time analytics dashboard using Amazon QuickSight, which provided the client's operations team with immediate insights into environmental conditions across their entire sensor network. This project significantly reduced the client's infrastructure costs and provided them with a scalable, low-maintenance solution for their growing data needs.
