Telemetry control plane design

Shape ingestion, retention, and replay paths before devices flood the cloud.

We map your device classes to concrete topics, schemas, and back-pressure rules. Workshops cover broker sizing assumptions, dead-letter handling, and how operators triage spikes without losing context.

Capabilities

  • Schema drafts for device families
  • Back-pressure and retry matrix
  • Replay strategy for incident drills
  • Operator runbooks for spike days
  • Cost-aware retention tiers
  • Quality standards checklist for vendors
  • Handoff notes for firmware peers

Outcomes

  • A single agreed telemetry contract across squads
  • Named owners for ingestion and archival paths
  • Incident drill script tied to replay tooling

FAQ

We benchmark with your expected peak publish rates and retention windows. Very large spikes may require a staged rollout; that scope is spelled out before work begins.

“Cold-path warehouse chapter alone saved us a redesign. They named the failure modes instead of hand-waving “scale later.””
