IoT platform (buy, build, or use?)

Before answering the question of whether to buy, build, or use a managed cloud IoT platform, let's agree upon the following facts:

  • There is no single vendor or IoT platform that can cover or provide everything needed for building an E2E and robust IoT solution. This fact applies to hyperscale vendors such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and others, too.

The different IoT platform vendors might provide a huge set of components and solution building blocks that assist in building large-scale and production-grade IoT solutions, but you may discover some components that they do not provide or support, for example, IoT connectivity management, in particular, cellular IoT connectivity. For this IoT connectivity management component, you might have to depend on mobile network operators' IoT connectivity platforms for managing the cellular connectivity used in the IoT solution. Another example is IoT device hardware. Most vendors will...
