One of the most common problems with any application and IoT ones in particular is cost and performance.

We expect our devices to communicate quickly and without lag. No one wants to send a command to the IoT device and wait too long for the command to be processed by the device. This cost is not just in processing time, but it’s a practical cost; cloud providers charge for the amount of data being transferred. Hence, you want to reduce that cost, and there are essentially two ways:
