Obviously if every IOT report sets off a 6 hour machine learning
calculation then you need a lot of server hardware.  Usually you just
check for some simple conditions (refrigerator is out of proper temp
range, user needs to order more pickles, etc.), trigger some event if
conditions match, otherwise just log the report, then there's not much
happening.  I can't remember the last time I saw a web service
programmed in C or Ada or anything like that (I do know they exist).
They're either in scripting languages or in Java.  Do you actually work
on internet stuff?  The server guys always want to deal with scaling
problems by adding more hardware.
