1. Use [AWS IoT Core](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/) to connect products by using MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport).

1. Ingest telemetry to Amazon S3 with Amazon Data Firehose for durable storage.

1. Define event logic with [AWS IoT Events](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/aws-overview/internet-of-things-services.html#aws-iot-events) and [Amazon SNS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sns/latest/dg/) for alerting.

1. Build microservices with Lambda and [Amazon DynamoDB](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/) to process telemetry and serve applications.
