From Raw Signals to Real-Time Insights: Building an End-to-End IoT Pipeline With Zerobus

In the world of IoT, every additional hop in your data pipeline is a tax on speed, a risk to governance and a driver of unnecessary cost. To solve this problem, we developed DataLink, an internal use wireless data collection platform that streams high fidelity data directly into Unity Catalog at near real-time speeds. With Zerobus, we built an IoT ingestion pipeline that delivers fast access and robust governance at a fraction of the traditional cost and complexity. This architecture transforms raw lab data from across the globe into structured insights in near real time. In this presentation, we will take a deep dive into our architectural strategy for connecting IoT devices to Zerobus endpoints and setting up ingestion. We will also discuss how we leveraged alerts, dashboards, and automated failure analysis to streamline workflows for engineering teams. Finally, we will walk through a live demo showcasing the end-to-end pipeline from data generation to consumption.
