How it works
Many organizations lack the experience to rapidly and effectively connect their devices to the cloud, stalling time-to-market. Trek10’s IoT Foundations helps you solve this challenge, offering an accurate solution with long-term scalability in mind. Engagements start with a six-week timeline and adjust according to client-specific modifications.

Trek10 configures parameters in a series of AWS CloudFormation templates to rapidly generate a backend infrastructure leveraging AWS IoT services. Trek10's device simulator injects custom simulation data into the architecture and can be run from any preferred location such as a personal computer or a cloud-based container. Device data monitoring ensures continuity and prevents data loss due to corrupt or erroneous device messages.

The architecture uses AWS Lambda functions to carry out message processing, filtering, and validation in a scalable and reliable manner. Amazon CloudWatch metrics help you maintain the health and performance of backend systems, while Amazon Cognito provides access control. Other possible services in this solution include Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS), Amazon QuickSight, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon API Gateway.
