Amazon IoT SiteWise is a managed service to collect, store, organize, and monitor data from industrial equipment at scale.

We are announcing the launch of Amazon IoT SiteWise buffered ingestion, a new feature that allows cost efficient and scalable ingestion of time series data needed for analytical use cases. Until now, customers have used Amazon IoT SiteWise streaming ingestion APIs to ingest to the cloud telemetry data that is needed by applications in milliseconds. For example, data needed for real time monitoring use cases. With buffered ingestion customers can now buffer at the edge time series data streams before ingesting to the cloud. By using buffered ingestion customers can lower their ingestion cost for data that is needed in the cloud within minutes instead of milliseconds. For example, data needed for machine learning applications and BI analytics dashboards that only need to be updated every 15 minutes. The combination of the two ingestion mechanisms allows customers to configure efficient ingestion pipelines for data needed for real time and analytical applications.

Customers can use Amazon IoT SiteWise to configure which data streams will be buffered, as well as the maximum amount of time data is buffered at the edge before it is ingested to the cloud. Once configured, Amazon IoT SiteWise will buffer and ingest data using the customer defined configurations.

This feature is available in all Amazon Web Services regions where Amazon IoT SiteWise is available, including the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.

Amazon IoT SiteWise is a managed service that makes it easy to collect, store, organize and monitor data from industrial equipment at scale to help you make data-driven decisions. To learn more, please visit the developer guide.
