## AI overview

The article explains how ESP RainMaker evaluated architectures for its IoT cloud service using security, time-to-market, scalability, cost, and runtime reconfiguration criteria. It reports that serverless deployment stood out in the evaluation.

## Source excerpt

Recently, we launched ESP RainMaker, that provides a way for developers to build devices with readymade cloud, phone apps and voice assistant support. In this context, designing and implementing an IoT cloud service was a significant part of the efforts and we wanted to ensure that it met some of the key criteria that we had laid out. Security -- We gave utmost importance to security to ensure that device and the user data is secure, and unintentional access to the data is prevented.
