Overview
How UDP Gateway Works
UDP Gateway fits into your architecture between client systems (devices or software) and your business logic. We handle the infrastructure and route UDP traffic to your AWS resources.
How UDP Gateway Works
Infrastructure as Code Workflow
Use Case: RADIUS Authentication and Accounting
Use Case: Centralize Logging
The Door is Open to Serverless UDP

Product video
Proxylity UDP Gateway is a fully managed serverless solution that routes UDP traffic directly to AWS Lambda, IoT Core, CloudWatch Logs, S3, DynamoDB, Step Functions, SNS, SQS, Kinesis, EventBridge, and API Gateway without managing UDP servers. Eliminates operational overhead for RADIUS authentication, IoT device connectivity, syslog collection, DNS services, network monitoring, real-time gaming, and legacy protocol integration.
Infrastructure-as-Code Native Design
Deploy production-ready UDP listeners in under 5 minutes using AWS CloudFormation or Terraform. CloudFormation templates define listeners, destinations, IAM roles, client IP restrictions, and batching policies. Official Terraform module available in HashiCorp Registry. Enables GitOps workflows and repeatable deployments.
Serverless UDP to AWS Lambda Integration
Process UDP packets with Lambda business logic instead of managing EC2 instances. Delivers packets as JSON objects with source IP, port numbers, timestamps, and raw payloads. Lambda response streaming enables real-time protocols by sending reply packets progressively throughout execution. Supports all AWS runtimes (Node.js, Python, Java, Go, .NET). Multi-tenant isolation with dynamic tenant ID extraction using Binary Range Expressions. .NET SDK and dotnet templates available. Configurable batching reduces Lambda invocations by up to 90%.
AWS IoT Core Integration for Connected Devices
Bridge UDP devices directly to AWS IoT Core MQTT infrastructure without protocol translation servers. Dynamic topic routing publishes to unique MQTT topics based on device identifiers extracted from payloads, enabling per-device subscriptions, Thing Shadow updates, and Rules Engine integration. Static mode wraps packets in JSON; dynamic mode preserves raw binary payloads. Ideal for industrial sensors, cellular gateways, energy management, connected vehicles, and legacy modernization.
Centralized Syslog Collection and Security Logging
Replace syslog servers with direct CloudWatch Logs integration. Publishes syslog messages (RFC3164, RFC5424, RFC6587) to CloudWatch log groups. Composite destinations route logs to CloudWatch for monitoring with metric filters and alarms, S3 via Firehose for compliance archival (SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP), and Lambda for security event processing to AWS Security Hub. Integrates with SIEM platforms (Splunk, Sumo Logic, Datadog) via CloudWatch subscriptions.
Comprehensive AWS Service Integrations
- AWS Lambda: Request/response and streaming, tenant isolation
- Step Functions: EXPRESS or STANDARD workflow orchestration
- API Gateway: Third-party HTTP/HTTPS webhook integration
- EventBridge: Event-driven routing patterns
- SQS: Standard and FIFO queues with dynamic message group IDs
- SNS: Fan-out notification patterns
- DynamoDB: Real-time storage with dynamic attribute mapping
- S3: Direct object storage for archival
- Kinesis Data Streams: Real-time streaming with partition keys
- Kinesis Data Firehose: High-volume delivery to S3, Redshift, OpenSearch
- CloudWatch Logs: Centralized logging
- AWS IoT Core: MQTT topic publishing
Security and Compliance
Zero-trust architecture with IAM role assumption. Client IP restrictions using CIDR notation. All API calls auditable via CloudTrail. Encryption at rest. Compliance-ready for SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP with S3 Object Lock. Multi-region deployment supports data residency and GDPR.
Common Use Cases
RADIUS authentication with Lambda querying DynamoDB or RDS. IoT connectivity bridging CoAP to AWS IoT Core. Syslog routing to CloudWatch and Security Hub. DNS filtering with Lambda. Real-time gaming with DynamoDB. SNMP trap collection. Legacy modernization without firmware changes.
