Also in the analytics space but not related to IoT apps, curious do you do use batch or stream processing or combination of both in lambda architecture?

Just on a high level what components are you using behind the scenes? I ask because I love this work!

Renat from Engineering at Kraftful. The MVP has a different architecture, but we’re in the process of switching to using batch processing. For now the main components are Segment and BigQuery.

I’m curious how are you using Segment? I used to work at Segment and we didn’t have any IoT customers due to the price being too high

[Context: I worked with this team previously] Data here is coming from mobile apps, and is similar in volume to typical mobile app user analytics. I can certainly imagine that Segment would be a poor (or maybe just costly) fit for device telemetry in most IoT use-cases.

It hasn’t been an issue so far, but we have our own ingestion pipeline on our roadmap that will address this and other issues. (Renat from Kraftful team).
