Real-Time Stream Processing and Analytics in Cloud-Based IoT Systems
Manoj Mothy, K. Suganyadevi · 2025
This systems leverage real-time essential technologies to handle and derive meaningful insights from the ongoing data streams produced by IoT devices. In this domain, cloud computing consumption models are utilized to accommodate data's volume, velocity, and variety, offering a scalable and resilient stream processing infrastructure. Key Features Distributed Processing Framework: Apache Kafka & Apache FlinkOne feature of this architecture is the distributed processing framework, which can provide low-latency data ingestion and processing along with event-driven analytics. They enhance complex event processing (CEP) to identify patterns and correlations and apply machine learning algorithms to predictive analytics. To minimize data latency and bandwidth consumption, it is often used with edge computing frameworks, allowing processing to be pushed closer to where data is originating. Robust data schemas, replication strategies, and encryption mechanisms are used to tackle data heterogeneity, fault tolerance, and security challenges. This capability allows manifold applications such as smart cities, industrial IoT, and autonomous systems, all responding to global demand for cloud scalability paired with edge efficiency. We also expect future developments in areas such as adaptive stream processing, improved privacy preservation techniques, and more significant synergies with artificial intelligence, resulting in more intelligent and real-time decision-making capabilities across IoT ecosystems.
