Project Overview
A device management platform needed a reliable way to run recurring and rule-based background tasks, such as syncing device status and performance data, validating configurations, and cleaning outdated records. As the number and variety of IoT devices grew, manual processes could not keep up, leading to missed updates, delayed syncs, and inconsistent data. We designed a Background Task Execution Framework to automate these operations safely and at scale.
Key Features
The Challenge
Growing Device Fleet
The platform managed a growing fleet of IoT devices, each sending status updates and configuration details to the central system.
Manual Process Limitations
Managing daily syncs, configuration checks, and data maintenance manually became slow and error-prone as device volume increased.
Data Inconsistencies
Data mismatches between device records and the central database started appearing, affecting monitoring accuracy and reporting.
Lack of Traceability
The team needed an automated, fault-tolerant system with full traceability for scheduled syncs, validation, and cleanup operations.
The Solution
Fully Automated Operations
Transformed a fully manual process into an automated, predictable system requiring no daily intervention.
Improved Data Accuracy
Significant improvement in data accuracy with update delays eliminated across the device fleet.
Complete Job Visibility
The team gained full visibility into job runs, device sync status, and execution history.
Reliable Device Data at Scale
The platform now maintains clean and reliable device data at scale without manual intervention.
