From Sensors to Systems: Building End-to-End IoT

IoT success is not defined by individual devices—it is defined by systems that work reliably from edge to cloud. From Sensors to Systems: Building End-to-End IoT takes an engineering and architecture-driven view of how raw sensor data becomes operational insight at scale.
This book follows the full lifecycle of an IoT system. It begins at the edge with sensors and firmware, moves through connectivity and data pipelines, and ends with platforms that integrate analytics, automation, and enterprise systems. The focus is on how components interact, where failures occur, and why integration is harder than it looks.
Rather than presenting idealized architectures, the book deals with real constraints: latency, reliability, security, scaling, and maintenance over time. Readers learn how design decisions at one layer ripple across the entire system.
Readers will examine:
• How sensor data flows through IoT architectures
• Where most end-to-end systems break
• How to design for scale, reliability, and updates
• Why integration matters more than device specs
• How IoT systems evolve after deployment
This book is for engineers, architects, and technical leaders building real IoT deployments. If you are responsible for making connected systems work in the real world—not just in demos—this book gives you the systems-level thinking required to succeed.
