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

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).

[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.
