An open source, reference data infrastructure for IoT
Sujee Maniam
We are already in the era of ‘connected things’ — our mobile phones, computers, tablets and wearables sync and talk via ‘cloud’. It is not hard to imagine the next wave as more and more devices are connected (cars, thermostats …etc). This is what is called as ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT).
IoT presents a lots of challenges; especially data coming in at high volume and high velocity — imagine billions of devices each sending readings every few seconds or minutes. All this data need to be analyzed pretty quickly. Plus we need to think about security, privacy and compliance.
In this talk we will present a reference architecture for IoT. We draw on industry’s best practices on Big Data including Lambda architecture patterns. Lambda architecture outlines generic, scalable and fault-tolerant data processing. We will illustrate a potential data pipeline and discuss how each stage might be implemented and technology choices at each stage. The talk will also highlight up and coming Big Data technologies that may play a key role in IoT infrastructures.
IoT Analytics & Stream Processing

Harnessing microservices and composable services for agility and scale in IoT applications
- Chad Arimura, Iron.io
Fast-moving, agile organizations such as Netflix, Gilt and Untappd are embracing microservices as the new foundation for software development – a direct response to more costly and cumbersome monolithic approaches of the past. A composable services architecture breaks application development into discrete, logical tasks that are better suited for handling event-driven workloads within distributed cloud environments. The microservices approach yields:
Improved scalability through matching event loads to resource utilization
Increased agility with more flexible computing environments
Simplified migration from legacy architectures into more modern distributed infrastructures
This session will review the best practices for developers who must address the challenges of deploying and managing service-driven architectures for IoT and stream-oriented workloads.
- Chad Arimura is the CEO/Co-Founder of Iron.io. Chad is an expert developer and cloud architect with over 10 years experience leading technology teams in high-growth startups. He combines his development and engineering expertise with his product marketing and sales experience to drive the Iron.io team to build the world’s best cloud infrastructure services.

Securing the Internet of Things: From Critical to Trivial and all Hackable
- Guy AlLee, Intel
Soon 50 billion devices will be network connected. Virtually everything will be impacted by this coming tsunami And it will all be under attack. Security will make or break the Internet of Things over the long run. So what’s a developer to do? Doing nothing is not an option.
Guy AlLee of Intel Security will outline a framework for how to start thinking about securing IoT from the ground upward – how to start thinking about a product’s security framework when first thinking about the product itself.
– What’s being done now with legal policy and network standards that may affect your future work
– Why you need to consider end to end security before you design your product
– Effective risk and threat assessment practices
– How to utilize a design template that addresses security of the whole stack

How do we scale the Internet of Things?
- Ross Mason, Founder & VP Product Strategy, MuleSoft
Is the Internet of Things really here? How will we know? More and more things around us have sensors that passively collects information about people and activities, then this data is used by our apps on smartphones and tablets. Yet these things around us don’t yet feel like they are making a big impact. The challenge is all these things are still unconnected. You need to connect the applications, data, clouds, APIs, supply chains and partner ecosystems that make it possible for start ups and enterprises to deliver new business and consumer value. This talk examines what’s needed for a true IoT architecture and the first steps needed to unleash new possibilities…and a true IoT.
