IoT & Microservices in the Home - Technical Marriage Made in Heaven

Explore the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Microservices in home automation through this conference talk from GOTO Amsterdam 2017. Delve into the implementation of asynchronous microservices for managing heterogeneous devices like lights and motion sensors in a home IoT environment. Learn about J2ME-like platforms that handle unreliable device connectivity, and discover the potential of various smart home devices including Amazon Echo, Xbox One, Apple TV, Phillips Hue Bridge, and Samsung Refrigerator. Gain insights into microservices architecture, including Rapids, Rivers, and Ponds patterns, asynchronous communication, and incremental application development. Examine technology choices, architectural principles, and a framework for microservices implementation. Understand hardware architecture, event bus integration, reactive services, state management, and choreography concepts. Reflect on observations from this approach, explore how XP values and Agile practices apply, and glimpse into future possibilities with Docker on Raspberry Pi.
