Extracting Value from IoT Using Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Confluent Cloud

End to end solution for ingesting and analysing IoT data in near real-time

It’s possible to build seamless device-to-cloud experience with the integrations between Azure and Confluent Cloud. The example provided in this blog post showcases how the following capabilities of Azure and Confluent Cloud are leveraged:

• A fully managed platform for data in motion and self-managed connectors from Confluent
• A secure connection from Confluent to Azure
• A highly distributed and scalable data management solution from Azure
• A limitless analytics service offered by Azure that brings together data integration, enterprise data warehousing, and big data analytics
• A fully managed microservice development platform on Azure

The following diagram provides high-level architecture of the end-to-end solution:
