🚀 Serverless Spark IoT Framework

Real-time IoT data processing framework using Apache Spark with serverless architecture, reinforcement learning optimization, and edge-cloud synchronization.

---

🌟 Novel Contributions

This framework introduces several first-of-their-kind innovations:

1. CRDT-based Edge-Cloud State Synchronization with LSTM predictive prefetching
2. Reinforcement Learning (DQN/PPO) Resource Allocation for multi-objective optimization
3. Adaptive 4-Tier Shuffle Optimization with IoT-specific data temperature prediction
4. Cross-Cloud Portability Layer enabling seamless AWS/GCP/Azure deployment
5. Privacy-Preserving Analytics with federated learning and homomorphic encryption
