MobX is a scalable library developed to ease the process of state management in frontend applications. In this tutorial, you will learn how to manage the state of your Flutter applications using MobX, and then set up a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for your application using CircleCI. You can find the sample project developed for this tutorial in this GitHub repository.

François, Chris, and I started Interrupt 2.5 years ago because we wanted a repository of great embedded firmware content, which didn’t exist. Looking back at all the posts that our community contributors have published, we think we’ve made a respectable attempt at this goal. Our goals for Interrupt were always more ambitious than just a blog with quality content. We wanted Interrupt to become a hub for everything related to embedded firmware.

CRUD and REST are two of the most popular concepts in the Application Program Interface (API) industry. REST was made to standardize the HTTP protocol interface between clients and servers and is one of the widely used design styles for web API. On the other hand, CRUD is an acronym used to refer to the four basic operations executed on database applications. Because both work on manipulating databases’ data, it’s easy to see why people have some confusion between them.

Here are the articles, videos, and tools that we’ve been excited about this October. We hope you enjoy these links, and we look forward to hearing what you’ve been reading in the comments or on the Interrupt Slack.

In the first part, I outlined some of the terms associated with the delivery of IoT. Next, let’s look at how this gets complex. You will need to read the state of each sensor (through their appropriate API and through their appropriate vendor-supplied hub), create logic to determine what actions must be taken when certain conditions are met, and then deliver these as a workflow to each responder, and confirm through data collected from sensors that the requested change was implemented.

2 November 2021: Canonical published the first Ubuntu images optimised for the next generation of Intel IoT platforms, which address the unique requirements of the intelligent edge across multiple industry verticals. Both companies are dedicated to enabling on Ubuntu the Intel IoT platforms’ specific features such as real-time performance, manageability, security, and functional safety, as well as allowing users to take advantage of their improved CPU and graphics performance.

Monitoring cloud-native systems is hard. You’ve got highly distributed apps spanning tens and hundreds of nodes, services and instances. You’ve got additional layers and dimensions—not just bare metal and OS, but also node, pod, namespace, deployment version, Kubernetes’ control plane and more. To make things more interesting, any typical system these days uses many third-party frameworks, whether open source or cloud services.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a wonderful marketing term given to devices that are connected to the internet. Today everything from light switches, air conditioners to door locks have the option of being internet-connected. Now that multiple companies have created “tags” that you can add to anything from keys to cars and packages, anything can be tracked. Across the business, industry, and retail almost every physical component has the option of being internet-connected.
