Summary
This chapter discussed how Internet of Things solutions can be handled in Azure, especially with the help of Azure IoT Hub and Azure Functions. It also presented an extension of the car-sharing example using an IoT service, which demonstrates how useful microservices architecture can be.
Microservices offer several strategic advantages in the development of large-scale applications, especially when it comes to implementing IoT solutions. By decoupling the IoT solution from the rest of the application, developers have the flexibility to choose the appropriate technologies and pipelines for deployment independently. This modular approach not only enhances scalability and maintainability but also allows different teams to work on various parts of the application without interference.
Another significant benefit of microservices is their optional and distributed usage of information. The data provided by the IoT solution can be utilized by any microservice that requires...
