Over the past two weeks I have worked on setting up our ioT communication pathway: specifically the mqtt message transfer & database dump. I have been able to set up necessary security permissions on our AWS account and configure DynamoDB and AWS ioT core to receive mock input records and messages respectively. An AWS console image is posted below & the code for this can be found in the dev branch of our github https://github.com/18500-Kerby/Kerby/tree/dev (It’s private because we thought it should be that way but if you’d like access to monitor our progress just say so). The next step iterating on this would be to i) Run experiments varying parameters e.g batch write throughput, TCP keep alive settings to analyze their effect on latency ii) Setup containers on Amazon LightSail to persist a job running the code for our communication pathway.
