IoT Device Simulator

Create and simulate hundreds of virtual connected devices without having to configure and manage physical devices

Important: The IoT Device Simulator solution will retire in February 2025. We encourage customers to explore using Distributed Load Testing on AWS for IoT device workloads simulation and performance testing at scale.

Overview

The IoT Device Simulator solution helps customers test device integration and improve performance of their IoT backend services, via an intuitive web-based graphical user interface (GUI). The solution allows customers to create and simulate hundreds of connected devices, without having to configure and manage physical devices, or develop time-consuming scripts.

 

Benefits

Custom simulation engine

Leverage the IoT Device Simulator out-of-the-box, or as a reference implementation and utilize the customizable simulation engine to test device integration and IoT backend services with simulated datasets.

Intuitive user interface

A web-based GUI console allows customers to create and simulate hundreds of connected devices, without having to configure and manage physical devices, or develop time-consuming scripts.

Scalable simulations

Run up to 1,000 simultaneous simulations (virtual IoT devices) across the simulation engine, and create up to 100 simulations at a time.

Technical details

You can automatically deploy this architecture using the implementation guide and the accompanying AWS CloudFormation template.
