The blistering development of Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems has added pressure to the requirement of resilient, secure and continuously observable device infrastructures through scale. Old IoT platforms are known to have siloed monitoring systems, manual fault management and non-dynamic security settings that, in addition to high downtime, predictability of reliability and higher vulnerability of cyber threat. The paper has offered a data-intensive and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)-congruent framework to design resilient internet of things infrastructures with reliability-focused device management, integrated observability and automated security compliance. The suggested architecture incorporates four central pillars, in the form of: (1) a high-throughput telemetry pipeline with support of distributed data ingestion and real-time analytics; (2) an SRE driven with a reliability model featuring service-level objective (SLOs), service-level indicator (SLIs), and adaptive error budgets to device fleets; (3) an intelligence powered monitoring plane that integrates anomaly detection, drift tracking and predictive failure modeling; and (4) an automated security control plane enforcing never relenting compliance, vulnerability scoring, and access. We confirm the framework as experimentally tested with an emulated edge-cloud IoT environment, which shows that the framework improves on mean-time-to-detect (MTTD), mean-time-to-recover (MTTR), uptime compliance with the set SLOs, and security incident propagation is reduced. Findings indicate that the solution under consideration dramatically increases the resilience of operations and decreases the number of human interventions as well as offers the scalable, self-healing, and security-aware management of devices provided needed in large-scale IoT projects. This writing sets a single design of the reliability-focused IoT infrastructure design comprising new SRE values alongside information-driven automation.
