Integrate Twitch with AWS IOT

Twitch?

Twitch (formerly known as Justin.tv. is a live streaming platform owned by Twitch Interactive, Inc., a subsidiary of Amazon.com. The website was launched in June 2011 by Justin Kan and Emmett Shear, the founders of the similar platform Justin.tv. Twitch is the world's leading social video service and community for gamers. Each day, millions of community members gather to watch, talk, and chat about shared interests. Twitch's video platform is the backbone of both live and on-demand distribution for the entire video game ecosystem. This includes game developers, publishers, media outlets, events, user generated content, and the entire esports scene. In February 2014, the website had an average monthly viewing time of 55 million hours, and if combined with YouTube Gaming, it is estimated to have approximately 100 million monthly viewers.[3] It is headquartered in San Francisco's SOMA district.

In March 2017, Twitch announced that it had more than 10 million members, and that number doubled in a year.[4] As of January 2018, the service had over 15 million members,[5] and by late October 2018, that number grew to 30 million.[6] Viewing activity peaked at just under 900 million in May 2017 before declining slightly due to a change in API usage guidelines.[7]

AWS IOT?

AWS IoT is a managed cloud platform that allows connected devices to easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices. Using AWS IoT for message routing between devices using MQTT allows devices to communicate directly with each other without relying on an intermediary device such as an edge router or gateway. There are no constraints or barriers to integrating devices from different vendors and manufacturers into your spution.

Integration of Twitch and AWS IoT is a good example of how to build an IoT application using real-time data from the Internet. The tutorial shows how to use Python 3 to build an AWS IoT application that displays current game statistics on a TV screen for a particular channel based on user preferences selected from a web interface. The fplowing diagram shows you how this application works:

As you can see above, at the core of the system is a game server that sends statistical information about the current match being played, such as the score of the current match, the number of kills achieved by each player, and so on. This information is then made available over a WebSocket connection for every client connected to the match.

The web server receives WebSocket messages from clients and forwards them to every client connected to the match through the same WebSocket connection. The web UI allows users to select which match they want to see statistics for. This selection is sent through another WebSocket connection back to the web server that stores the game selection in an S3 bucket. After receiving the game selection data from the web server, the Python script running on the Raspberry Pi retrieves the corresponding match information from the S3 bucket using AWS SDKs and sends it back across a WebSocket connection to all clients connected to the match. All communication between clients and servers occurs over WebSockets using MQTT protocp. This communication pattern allows multiple clients to connect to the game server and receive real-time updates about a match without having to implement any complex networking logic on their own.

Benefits of Integration of Twitch and AWS IOT

This application demonstrates how to integrate Twitch with other AWS services for building IoT applications. It enables you to build sputions that are scalable, reliable, secure, and cost effective.
