Evaluation of Real-Time Stream Processing for Internet of Things Applications

摘要

Nowadays, Internet of Things (IoT) application need information on demand and in real-time. With this, big data became vital part of IoT applications as the data generated by the application is very large. In most of the application IoT applications generate continuous streams of data which need to be analyzed in real-time to produce the information about the event. Apache kafka has the ability to handle continuous stream of data in distributed manner. In this work, we evaluate the performance of IoT applications by applying the apache kafka at middleware layer (processing layer). We evaluate the latency and throughput for educational, smart home, and smart building applications.
