What is AWS Greengrass?

AWS Greengrass is a software that extends cloud capabilities to local devices, enabling the creation and deployment of applications and machine learning models at the edge. The software supports secure connectivity, local data processing, and execution of AWS Lambda functions without the need for constant cloud connectivity. It facilitates seamless integration with various AWS services, provides device management, and supports OTA updates for devices. The software is designed to address business requirements for processing and analyzing data locally in order to reduce latency, optimize bandwidth usage, and maintain operations even during periods of intermittent cloud connectivity.

If you are developing an multi-device access IoT Solution working over Internet AWS Greengrass feature is the one of best solution for your demand. Other very good thing with GreenGrass, it has abilities to be integrated with other micro services serviced by AWS. However it has very less documentation on internet about GreenGrass

“Amazing service for IoT”

Dec 16, 2019
The best part about AWS greenGrass is that you can process device data locally even if the device is temporarily disconnected, you can say it as an advanced version of AWS IOT, it's one of the best service for lambda execution on IOT devices which provides event driven compute functions in response to an action. You can use it to solve various problems where net connectivity is a issue , where device have to take decisions locally without cloud and when it connects to cloud than invoke Lambda function. The best part about it that it provides you a cloud less solution, so that latency and connectivity was improved drastically being able to run completely offline in completely private environment.

AWS Greengrass Likes & Dislikes

Like

Pricing

Like

What I really like about AWS Greengrass is that reduce latency between the devices and data processing layer, reduce bandwidth costs involved in ingesting large amount of data to the cloud and the compliance and security by retaining the sensitive data locally.

Like

It's reliable, secure and efficient with great latency and response rate. One of the biggest advantages is the ability to run it offline.

Dislike

Lack of documentation.

Dislike

Comparing with AWS IOT it's little bit hard to learn, and quality of support is not so good. Also, very less programming language supports AWS Greengrass and we can deploy using only AWS Greengrass only which is major drawback . We should be able to deploy to device using our local PC.

Dislike

The quality of support could be way improved.
