Modernizing an application is easy. Modernizing an application to work globally and at scale, well it sounds hard but it might be easier than you think.

The application needed to ingest IoT data from across the globe and needed to provide the ability for its users to make decisions within a matter of seconds. This talk will explain the architecture, the reasons we choose the services we used, and lessons we learned.
