Best Practice 19.3 – Optimize data sent from devices to backend services
Optimizing the amount of data sent by the devices at the edge allows the backend to more easily meet the processing targets set by the business. Detailed data generated at the edge might have little value for your application in its raw form.
Recommendation 19.3.1 – Aggregate or compress data at the edge
-
You can aggregate data points at the edge before sending it to the cloud, such as performing statistical aggregation, frequency histograms, signal processing.
-
For example, if you are using AWS IoT Greengrass you can implement data processing at the edge with a combination of streams and Lambda functions.
