Going to Production
Checklist and guidance for taking your IoT solution from prototype to production on Soracom
ConceptsMoving from a working prototype to a production IoT deployment requires careful planning across connectivity, security, operations, and cost management. This guide walks through the key considerations for launching on Soracom.
Production readiness checklist
- Connectivity plan — Choose the right SIM type and data plan for your expected traffic patterns
- Security baseline — Enable IMEI Lock, configure VPG for network isolation, set up SAM users with least-privilege roles
- Monitoring & alerting — Configure Event Handler rules for connection anomalies and data thresholds
- Fleet operations — Set up Groups for configuration management and test Bulk Operations workflows
- Cost controls — Set speed class limits, configure billing alerts, review per-device cost projections
Scaling considerations
As you grow from tens to thousands of devices, operational automation becomes critical. Soracom's API-first design means every console action can be scripted and integrated into your deployment pipeline.
