Amazon IoT vs AWS Greengrass: What are the differences?

Developers describe Amazon IoT as "Easily and securely connect devices to the cloud. Reliably scale to billions of devices and trillions of messages". AWS IoT is a managed cloud platform that lets connected devices easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices. AWS IoT can support billions of devices and trillions of messages, and can process and route those messages to AWS endpoints and to other devices reliably and securely. With AWS IoT, your applications can keep track of and communicate with all your devices, all the time, even when they aren’t connected. On the other hand, AWS Greengrass is detailed as "Local compute, messaging, data caching, and synch capabilities for connected devices". Greengrass lets you run IoT applications seamlessly across the AWS cloud and local devices using AWS Lambda and AWS IoT.

Amazon IoT and AWS Greengrass can be primarily classified as "Internet of Things Services" tools.

    Azure IoT Hub
    Use device-to-cloud telemetry data to understand the state of your devices and define message routes to other Azure services without writing any code. In cloud-to-device messages, reliably send commands and notifications to your connected devices and track message delivery with acknowledgement receipts. Device messages are sent in a durable way to accommodate intermittently connected devices.
    Amazon MQ
    Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service for Apache ActiveMQ that makes it easy to set up and operate message brokers in the cloud.
    JavaScript
    JavaScript is most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic,and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.
