Building Smarter Edge Systems with AWS Greengrass

Edge computing is all about bringing compute power closer to where data is generated—think sensors on a factory floor, environmental monitors, or smart home gadgets. Instead of sending every bit of data to the cloud and waiting for a response, you can process and act on it locally, reducing latency and bandwidth usage. AWS IoT Greengrass is a service designed to bridge the gap between the cloud and your devices, letting you run AWS Lambda functions, Docker containers, or custom code right on edge devices. In this tutorial, we’ll walk through everything you need to know—from setup to deployment—so you can build responsive, resilient, and secure IoT solutions with Greengrass.
