Geo-Scalable (Big Data or IoT) Architectures?

4 points by kiranmova ↗ HN
Can you share your experiences building an application that has to be : - geo scalable : allows for ingestion of data from nodes that are spread across the globe (possibly like IoT). - semi-structured data : data that is not all sorted out. scope for new devices to send data that is not yet known - has an single-pane/portal/api that allows for querying aggregated data from different locations.

Since posting this question, I have been reading through a few presentation and youtube videos. So far I have gathered the following:

Option 1: Use a customized solution stack from a cloud vendor like Amazon, Azure. To quickly bootstrap, there are also consulting firms that specialize in one of these cloud solutions.

Option 2: Build using open-source stacks. Couple of interesting architectures are : SMACK , Lambda.

Any help that you could provide in pointing to the right links or just notes from which I could derive an reference architecture will be greatly appreciated.
