AWS IoT Core now supports direct messaging for point-to-point communication. Previously, sending a message to a single IoT device required publishing to an MQTT topic the device subscribed to, with no built-in delivery confirmation from the device.

It is being discovered in the mess of everyday work: by trying things, breaking things, finding…
