The hard part is that the pilot worked. That is exactly what makes the failure so difficult to diagnose. Pilots succeed because a few hundred sensors over a few weeks fits comfortably in almost any database. Production does not. Storage costs compound faster than the budget that approved them, ingest hits a cliff with no warning, and the real-time dashboard that sold the project turns into a loading screen. See where industrial systems and typical AWS pipelines reach their limits and how to scale beyond them. We’ll explore a proven architecture using AWS IoT Core, Amazon Kinesis, AWS Lambda, and a single Postgres database to support more than one million connected devices reporting every second. This presentation is brought to you by Tiger Data, an AWS Partner.  Key Takeaways: - Identify which of the three scaling failures (storage compounding, ingest cliff, query degradation) your system will hit first. - Map an existing AWS IoT pipeline against a production architecture proven at million-device scale. - Separate architectural changes that raise the ceiling from changes that only defer the problem. # Register Below: We'll send you an email confirmation ![Matty Stratton-modified-1](https://webinars.techstronglearning.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Matty%20Stratton-modified-1.png?width=375&height=375&name=Matty%20Stratton-modified-1.png "Matty Stratton-modified-1") ### Matty Stratton ###### Head of Developer Advocacy & Docs - Tiger Data Matty Stratton is the Head of Developer Advocacy & Docs at Tiger Data.
