This architecture handles real-time streaming from devices to predictive analytics while maintaining low complexity and cost. The pipeline supports scaling from a few devices to thousands without major infrastructure changes, with schema evolution through Avro and Redpanda's Schema Registry ensuring data consistency. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
