Project Summary

LITSLINK built a data broker application and data pipeline for an IoT wearables company, handling incoming device data and setting up AWS infrastructure. They implemented CI/CD and deployed services to a Kubernetes cluster while configuring Kinesis streams, S3 storage, and Elasticsearch clusters. Stakeholders were able to test end-to-end architecture, present demos to investors, and gain new customers; the vendor was noted for AWS expertise and strong communication.
