From coffee to cloud: scaling an enterprise IoT platform to 2.5 million messages an hour

An architecture case study from an enterprise IoT platform that links connected coffee machines to the cloud. About three years after go-live it has grown from 5,000 to more than 9,000 connected machines and from 1 to over 2.5 million messages an hour, on the same core architecture. The talk covers what that takes beyond device-to-cloud connectivity: continuous contact with the whole fleet, telemetry, command distribution and device identity at scale, with new machines and legacy systems side by side. The design leans on separation of concerns, isolating the actors involved and least privilege. Hosted by Eng Tech Community at Engineering Ingegneria Informatica's offices on Piazzale dell'Agricoltura (EUR), 19:00 to 21:00. Free. Speakers aren't named on the page. Why go: a real production system with real numbers, which Rome's evening meetups rarely offer. Best for backend, cloud and IoT engineers dealing with scale and legacy hardware.
