I had an opportunity to speak at the AWS Pop-up Hub. I lead an expert-level, deep dive session about the AWS IoT Greengrass service. During my presentation, I used only one IoT Device, but I explained how to effectively onboard and manage a huge number of connected Greengrass devices. I covered the following topics: How to use the Greengrass Fleet Provisioning plugin to generate unique credentials for every connected device. How to create a custom configuration file to fine-tune the Greengrass service.

I had an opportunity to speak at the DataMass conference. I explained how the nature of input data impacts the design of an IoT data pipe between the edge and the cloud. In other words, how to effectively transfer data between devices and the cloud backend in various scenarios. I covered the following topics in my presentation: How the nature of input data and other constraints (i.e. available network bandwidth) impact the solution design?

I had an opportunity to speak about how to start with the IoT @ AWS in a secure way at the AWS User Group Poland meeting in Katowice. The meeting was held in Leśniczówka Rock’n’Roll Cafe - a very nice wooden building in the middle of Park Śląski. Rock'n'Roll Cafe I covered the following topics in my presentation: What are the main attack vectors and how to defend the IoT ecosystem?

Introduction In this post, I will share my experience regarding the greenfield vs brownfield projects. I asked on LinkedIn if greenfield deployment is easier than brownfield and received the following votes: Below I share my subjective opinion, feel free to reach out if you do not agree with me (I’m always eager to learn). Definitions Let’s start with brief definitions of the green- and brownfield deployments. Greenfield project According to Wikipedia, the greenfield project develops “a system for a totally new environment, without concern for integrating with other systems, especially not legacy systems.

Overview What is the difference between the PoC (Proof of Concept), PoV (Proof of Value), and MVP (Minimum Viable Product)? I will explain those terms using real-file examples and events from my personal life. I will use non-IT examples - hopefully, they are easier to understand for everyone. Once you understand the purpose of those concepts, you will know when to use the proper approach. PoC (Proof of Concept) The PoC (Proof of Concept) is exactly what it is called - you want to verify the feasibility of some concept.

The question What is the best answer to the following question: How to connect a fridge to the internet? The (short) answer Why would you like to do that? What do you want to achieve? The (long) answer There are multiple ways to connect a device (i.e. a fridge) to the internet (or, to be more precise, to some backed system). Let’s not start by listing all the ways to achieve that specific task.
