Bifurcated telemetry data ingestion methods and systems

A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing system of a cloud-based computing system, cause the processing system to:

• obtain telemetry data from a gateway device;
• and
• assign a first subset of the telemetry data having first temporal characteristics to a first processing pipeline of the cloud-based computing system and a second subset of the telemetry data having second temporal characteristics to a second processing pipeline of the cloud-based computing system based at least in part on metadata associated with the telemetry data, wherein:
• the first subset and the second subset are mutually exclusive;
• the first temporal characteristics and the second temporal characteristics are different;
• and
• the first processing pipeline is configurable to write the first subset of the telemetry data to a data storage element concurrent to the second processing pipeline writing the second subset of the telemetry data to the data storage element.

A cloud-based computing system comprising:

• a data storage element;
• and
• a server coupled to the data storage element and a network to provide a platform service for obtaining telemetry data uploaded to the cloud-based computing system over the network from a gateway device at a site, wherein the platform service is configurable to assign a first subset of the telemetry data having first temporal characteristics to a first processing pipeline of the cloud-based computing system and a second subset of the telemetry data having second temporal characteristics to a second processing pipeline of the cloud-based computing system based at least in part on metadata associated with the telemetry data, wherein:
• the first subset and the second subset are mutually exclusive;
• the first temporal characteristics and the second temporal characteristics are different;
• and
• the first processing pipeline is configurable to write the first subset of the telemetry data to a data storage element concurrent to the second processing pipeline writing the second subset of the telemetry data to the data storage element.
