AWS provides a powerful and mature cloud foundation. Iotellect builds on top of it to drastically reduce the time, cost, and risk of creating real-world IoT applications.
This article explains how Iotellect runs on AWS, what value it adds, and how it integrates with AWS services – without turning AWS into a lock-in.
How Iotellect is Deployed on AWS
Iotellect is cloud-agnostic by design and runs natively on AWS using standard, well-understood services:
- Compute: EC2, ECS, or EKS — depending on scale and operational preferences
- Storage: Amazon RDS / Aurora for structured data, Amazon S3 for files and artifacts
- Networking: VPC, Load Balancers, private subnets, security groups
- Scaling: Horizontal scaling at application and infrastructure levels
Deployment can be single-tenant or multi-tenant, SaaS or customer-dedicated, and fits cleanly into existing AWS accounts and CI/CD pipelines.
What Iotellect Adds on Top of AWS
AWS gives you infrastructure and primitives. Iotellect gives you a finished IoT application layer.
With Iotellect, you don’t need to custom-build device and asset data models, data processing logic, dashboards & UIs, role-based access, alarms, workflows, and multi-tenant SaaS foundation.
The result: months of engineering work replaced by configuration and extension, while keeping full control over architecture and data.
Integrating AWS Services with Iotellect
Iotellect doesn’t compete with AWS services – it consumes them where they make sense.
Typical patterns include:
- AWS IoT Core for device connectivity, with data mapped into Iotellect’s unified model
- Amazon S3 for files, reports, media, and archives
- AWS Lambda / EventBridge for event-driven extensions and custom logic
- Analytics services (Athena, Redshift, Timestream) for heavy analytical workloads
Operational logic stays in Iotellect. Cloud-native services stay cloud-native.
Security and Operations
Iotellect aligns with AWS best practices:
- Network isolation via VPC and private subnets
- IAM-based access control
- Centralized logging and auditability
- Backup, recovery, and disaster-resilience patterns
This makes it suitable for enterprise, industrial, and regulated environments.
Takeaways
AWS is excellent at being a cloud platform. Iotellect is focused on being an IoT application platform.
Together, they let you:
- Launch faster
- Spend less on custom development
- Avoid rewriting your product every few years
- Keep freedom to evolve beyond a single cloud
AWS is the foundation. Iotellect is the accelerator.
