What it is and what it does
This is an AWS CDK library providing integration classes that define actions for AWS IoT Rules. When an IoT Rule matches incoming MQTT data, it can trigger one or more of these actions to send data to AWS services. The library currently supports routing to Lambda functions, S3 buckets, CloudWatch Logs and metrics, CloudWatch alarms, Kinesis streams, Firehose delivery streams, SQS queues, SNS topics, DynamoDB tables, IoT Events inputs, and HTTPS endpoints. Each action class encapsulates the configuration needed to connect an IoT Rule to its target service.
The module is marked as experimental and under active development, meaning its APIs are subject to non-backward-compatible changes in future releases. It is designed for developers building IoT data pipelines using AWS CDK, where infrastructure is defined in Python code. The package depends on aws-cdk-lib and related alpha modules, and requires Python 3.10 or later.
Use it for
- Route temperature sensor data from MQTT topics to S3 for long-term storage and analysis.
- Trigger Lambda functions in response to specific IoT device events or state changes.
- Stream device metrics to CloudWatch for real-time monitoring and alarming.
- Send IoT events to Kinesis or Firehose for downstream processing and analytics.
- Republish filtered or transformed MQTT messages to other topics for multi-subscriber scenarios.
