IoT: AWS Greengrass: scripts for devices & cloud

Fancy name "cloud functions" for what essentially are good old scripts. 

Thanks for performance improvements, both in hardware and software,

the original promise of Java is being realized: write once, debug everywhere :)

AWS Greengrass Runs Lambda Functions on IoT Devices @InfoQ
