Thingy:91 -> nrfcloud -> AWS

[guyd]

Hello,

My thingy:91 is publishing its messages to nrfcloud (=to the corresponding AWS mqttEndPoint and topics/ I suppose AWS IoT Core).

Now I want to get/process these messages in our IoT platform. Here I could:

- setting up a bridge: nordic - bridge - (our) AWS IoT Core

- develop a subscriber to the topics,

- use something as Apache NiFi.

However, I was wondering if using an AWS Lambda to the nordic mqttEndpoint (and topics) would be possible?

Thanks.

Hi.

As you mention there are several ways of getting the messages from nRF Cloud to your own cloud service. I have only done a few simple tests using the messages API, but from the documentation, it looks like it might also be possible to subscribe to the MQTT topics.

I am not quite sure what you mean by the last question. If you mean whether you can create a new AWS Lambda that runs in nRF Cloud, then no I very much doubt that. If you mean whether you can create an AWS Lambda in your own AWS instance, then I am not quite experienced enough with AWS to give a certain answer, but as long as you can make API requests, and trigger the Lambda according to your needs, then yes, that sounds like a viable approach.

I would also consider using your own AWS IoT Core instance (or similar for your cloud service provider of choice).

Best regards,
