Ingestion Layer

The ingestion layer is the entry point for all telemetry data entering ModularIoT.

Purpose

• Accept connections from diverse devices
• Parse device-specific protocols
• Validate incoming data
• Route to appropriate processing pipelines

Supported Protocols

HTTP/HTTPS

RESTful endpoints for modern devices and integrations.

TCP/UDP

Raw socket connections for embedded devices.

MQTT

Lightweight publish-subscribe for IoT devices.

CoAP

Constrained Application Protocol for resource-limited devices.

High Availability

The ingestion layer is designed for reliability:

• Multiple entry points for redundancy
• Automatic failover
• No single point of failure

Throughput

Designed for high-volume ingestion:

• Millions of messages per second aggregate
• Sub-second message latency
• Automatic backpressure handling

Security

• TLS encryption for all connections
• Device authentication
• Rate limiting per source
• Payload validation
