Not only handle the sheer load of messages, the number of connections. Even more important may be ability to integrate your custom bits and pieces and be able to make changes to every layer of that installation, in a controlled, yet simple way.

Machine learning and predicate maintenance we are the role models of IoT use cases. Having an IoT gateway allows you to pre-process data before you send it upstream to your cloud. It also allows you to do local decisions, without the actual need for a cloud upload. But as you know from sitting at your favorite restaurant, staring at the menu, making decisions can be quite hard ;-) Complex event process and machine learning models can help you with IoT use cases though.
