Validate IoT infrastructure with SoftServe IoTForge available in AWS Marketplace

1. Overview: Why SoftServe IoTForge Matters for IoT

As IoT deployments grow—expected to hit tens of billions of connected devices—organizations must ensure their infrastructure can scale and perform under real-world conditions. SoftServe IoTForge, available via AWS Marketplace, offers a comprehensive testing solution that simulates production-scale workloads to validate IoT systems before deployment.softserveinc.com+9Amazon Web Services, Inc.+9X (formerly Twitter)+9

Developed by AWS Premier Consulting Partner SoftServe, IoTForge accelerates validation efforts by combining load testing, performance testing, and hybrid scenario simulation—all tailored to IoT protocols and architectures.softserveinc.com+2Amazon Web Services, Inc.+2softserveinc.com+2

2. Key Testing Scenarios IoTForge Supports

Load Testing

Simulates high concurrency loads—such as tens of thousands of MQTT clients—to measure throughput, error rates, latency, and resource usage over extended periods. One test uncovered MQTT latency issues and buffer exhaustion after a few hours, enabling proactive remediation.Amazon Web Services, Inc.

Performance & Stress Testing

Tests under extreme or endurance conditions identify latency spikes, memory leaks, or callback failures. These help reveal hidden bottlenecks before going live.softserveinc.com+3Amazon Web Services, Inc.+3Amazon Web Services, Inc.+3

Hybrid Testing

Simulates full-device lifecycles—from provisioning to API calls to data exchange—revealing inter-component dependency issues such as cluster session delays. A hybrid test example showed endpoint failures reaching ~25% of requests under simultaneous load.Amazon Web Services, Inc.+1The AWS News Feed+1

3. How IoTForge Works: Architecture & Toolset

• Built on the open-source Locust framework, IoTForge uses Python test scenarios to simulate MQTT, HTTP(S), AMQP, SparkPlug B, and other protocols.softserveinc.com+3Amazon Web Services, Inc.+3Amazon Web Services, Inc.+3
• Key architecture components include:
  • Locust master: orchestrates test runs and centralizes results.
  • Locust workers: deployed as Amazon EKS pods that generate traffic against the system under test.
  • Amazon ElastiCache: assists with worker coordination.
  • Prometheus exporters: collect and visualize performance metrics from both IoTForge and the target system.
  • Integration via VPC peering or AWS PrivateLink to ensure secure communications.softserveinc.com+4Amazon Web Services, Inc.+4Amazon Web Services, Inc.+4
