MQTT Protocol

MQTTS vs HTTPS: 93x faster throughput 11.89x less battery to send 170.9x less battery to receive 50% less power to stay connected 8x less network overhead

•  OASIS standard protocol (v3.1.1) •  Lightweight, transport protocol that is

useful for connected devices •  Publish-subscribe with topics

•  MQTT is used on oil rigs, connected trucks, and many more critical applications

•  Until now, customers had to build, maintain and scale a broker to use MQTT with cloud applications

MQTT: device-to-device communication

mydevices/alert

MQTT: collect data from a device

mydevices/4

mydevices/4

MQTT: aggregate data from many devices

mydevices/#

mydevices/1 mydevices/2 mydevices/3 ….

Amazon DynamoDB

Applications

MQTT: update a device

1. AWS Services (Direct Integration)

Rules Engine

Actions

AWS IoT Rules

AWS Lambda

Amazon SNS

Amazon SQS

Amazon S3

Amazon Kinesis

Amazon DynamoDB Amazon RDS

Amazon Redshift

Amazon Glacier

Amazon EC2

3. External Endpoints (via Lambda and SNS)

Rules connect AWS IoT to External Endpoints and AWS Services.

2. Rest of AWS (via Amazon Kinesis, AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, and more)
