Very insightful. I'm just wondering, are there any tutorials or resources for implementing this project with AWS Lambda and the Raspberry Pi?

Check out this tutorial: <https://example.com/raspberry-pi-serverless-dashboard> with AWS Lambda and AWS IoT.

Great article! I've been looking for something like this to monitor my Raspberry Pi projects.

Just curious, what advantage does a serverless architecture have for a Raspberry Pi dashboard?
user6 6 months ago next
Another advantage, in my opinion, is the reduced latency, as you're executing code closer to the device generating the events.

True, I've seen that happen when I use AWS IoT and Lambda together for some other project I'm working on. Event-driven architecture definitely plays a role.

With a serverless architecture, the need to maintain and monitor a separate server is eliminated, reducing complexity and cost. It's event-driven, so the system only scales up when needed and can run on autopilot.

Do you think we can run this on Google Cloud Functions or Microsoft Azure Functions as an alternative to AWS Lambda?

Absolutely. The concept is similar regardless of the cloud provider. You just have to adapt the setup, tutorials for Google Cloud Functions and Azure Functions are also available.

Thanks for sharing the resources! I'll give it a try and share my experience here.
