Amazon Web Services Internet of Things (IoT) and Mobile SDKs

  2. Amazon Web Services Internet of Things (IoT) and Mobile SDKs

Primarily there are two purpose-specific SDKs –

  • AWS IoT Device SDK
  • AWS Mobile SDK.
  •  

Just like the general-usage SDKs that we covered previously, these purpose-specific SDKs also provide developers with the ability to use pre-built libraries that make it easier for them to focus on innovation in their code, not in how they connect to the infrastructure that runs it

Now here IoT and Mobile SDKs are different since they are purpose-built to streamline connecting physical devices, like phones and tablets or sensors and hubs, to the cloud. The SDKs are provided for a variety of languages commonly used on their respective platforms.

SDKs were available for the following languages/ platforms –

  • AWS Mobile SDK
  • Android
  • iOS
  • Unity
  • .NET
  • Xamarin
  • React Native

AWS IoT Device SDK

  • Embedded C
  • JavaScript
  • Arduino Yún
  • Java
  • Python
  • iOS
  • Android
  • C++

Just like the SDKs previously discussed, many of these SDKs provide their source code in GitHub. Each contains extensive documentation and helpful sample code to allow developers to get up and running quickly.

AWS Internet of Things Device SDKs assist to easily and quickly connect the devices to AWS IoT. The AWS Internet of Things Device SDKs include open-source libraries, developer guides with samples, and porting guides to build innovative IoT products or solutions on your choice of hardware platforms.

We can define AWS Internet of Things as a managed cloud platform that helps connected devices (or “Things”) easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices. AWS IoT supports billions of devices and trillions of messages, which can process and route those messages to AWS endpoints and to other devices reliably and securely. AWS IoT, helps the applications to keep track of and communicate with all your devices, all the time, even when they are not connected.
