AWS IoT Is Shutting Down Analytics Services: Here's Why Flex83 Is the Future-Ready Alternative

What's Happening?

On May 31, 2025, AWS announced the retirement of AWS IoT Analytics (effective Dec 15, 2025) and AWS IoT Events (shutting down May 20, 2026).

This comes on the heels of Google Cloud's IoT Core shutdown in 2023 and reflects a larger trend: hyperscalers are exiting vertically integrated IoT services, pushing businesses toward DIY models or third-party middleware.

For AWS IoT customers, this shift creates a serious problem:

• Loss of device telemetry processing
• Gaps in real-time event orchestration
• Broken alarm, rule, and analytics workflows

What Services Are Going Away?

AWS IoT Analytics

• Time-series data ingestion and storage
• SQL-based querying & dashboards
• Prebuilt analytics pipelines

AWS IoT Events

• Event rules and detection based on telemetry
• Alarm models and state machines
• Action triggers via Lambda

Without these tools, AWS IoT users face major architectural gaps.
