The Challenge

In a future where your whole life is connected, all your devices will report to you in real time; what they are doing, the resources they are consuming, how they are responding to real time events, etc. Take several smart plugs with sensors, deploy them across a few private households and you will have an uncountable number of connected devices, processing an unimaginable amount of data that help us gain insights into how to advance our lives.

This future is possible today, and your challenge is to make it happen NOW.

You must:

• 1Build a scalable solution that can process up to 4 billion events within a short period of time
• 2Build your solution in pre-configured cloud environment running on Apache Stratos with Kubernetes
• 3The solution should come together with testing documentation, and complete 2 queries.

Evaluation Criteria

• The evaluation team will run the full dataset against each team’s provided solution
• The solution should be capable to scale and process all data within the given period of time
• A script for automation of the solution though recommended, is optional

Resources Provided
