AWS IoT Core vs. Node.js

AWS iot core is very useful if you need to scale very quickly for managing lots of devices without handling the underlying infrastructure cost. It can enable real time publishing and subscription of devices, monitoring and early stage intervention in case of unexpected issues while developing a full stack solution. However, healthcare scenarios where government intervention is needed should be developed and scaled by following the set of compliance policies of the government and the SLA requirements of the customer. Finally, it is great where you need to do data science research after anonymizing data

If you need a fast, robust and reliable server side framework that allows you to write JS on the backend and therefore have your project in one language - Node.js is a stand out choice. It can easily handle heavy traffic on very little resources (CPU and memory usage is very efficient). I can't recommend it enough, it is such a pleasure to work with - I feel it gave me back my career. I was so bored with the banality of .NET, I had also come to dislike it's overly convoluted and complicated class structure. Node.js was the fresh start I needed, it can be as simple or as complicated as you like - but even at it's most complicated it can still beat the pants off .NET core any day.

• AWS IoT Core integrates power analytics and an AI solution for sensor data processing.
• Great protocol support including HTTPs and MQTT required to connect resource constraint IoT devices to cloud
• High security standards during data transmission
• Scalability and a great user community

Incentivized

• Node.js using V8 engine that allows run both UI and server side using JavaScript.
• Eliminates waiting time.
• Cross-platform that can execute different platforms like android, web apps, and other IoT devices.
• Uses Non-blocking property so that can be handled multiple requests with quick response.
• Easy to install and maintained.
• Open source.

• It would be great to have better integration with other IoT products outside of AWS
• It has been lagging in some of our applications. It's difficult to tell whether this is on AWS IoT or on our implementation
• It would be great to support a wider range of protocols

Incentivized

• Performance bottlenecks need to be profiled and ameliorated.
• The Asynchronous Programming Model has a learning curve which isn't always intuitive to entry-level coders.
• Much more suited to the cloud, as opposed to bare-metal installations.

I give AWS IoT Core's overall usability this rating because it is very easy to use and is enjoyed by all of our staff. The only problem is that it sometimes glitches and it freezes a lot. So overall, the usability of AWS IoT Core is very good, and we will continue to use it.

It covers all the aspects of IoT services required for an IoT company. It supports all the industry-wide protocols for secure data transmission and integrates powerful AL and ML technology for data analytics. For data storage, Amazon S3 is a great solution. Strong tech support and user community. Since it is widely used as compared to other products, there is an abundance of training and learning material on the web.

Node.js is easy and good to use, their support team is also good they always tend to help you, and solve your problem, even we know that Node is free to use and opensource but then also we get support from them but for getting much better results we need to purchase standard or enterprises support provided by them.

Azure IoT is a good product but since our whole suite of tech is now set up in AWS (ec2, s3, sagemaker, cloud formation, etc.), we wanted something that could quickly adapt to our environments. Learning a new tech for IoT was simply a bottleneck that we wanted to avoid at this point.

Node.js provides features that were used to solve the problem and overall there was no negative impact. That is why Node.js is selected.

Incentivized

• Gives confidence to prototype iot solutions across lots of devices in little time
• Ability to meet requirements for managing a variety of communication protocols
• Learning iot analytics and visualization for faster insights enablement
• Onboarding devices and managing quickly without building inhouse solutions

Incentivized

• It let us to make lo budget projects easily and faster.
• Node.js is easy and based on Javascript, so our interns and trainee could able to make projects using Node.js.
