The document outlines a reference architecture for Internet of Things (IoT) systems, focusing on capturing, processing, and storing large volumes of sensor data in real-time. It discusses the challenges of managing big data, emphasizing the need for distributed messaging systems like Apache Kafka for data capture, Apache Spark for processing, and Hadoop for storage. The architecture aims to provide scalable, fault-tolerant components suitable for processing high-velocity data from millions of sensors, with a strong commitment to open-source technologies.
