The tools & technologies behind Resin.io
1 like536 views
This document discusses the DevOps tools and technologies used by resin.io to deploy applications to remote Linux devices. Resin.io uses a service-oriented architecture deployed with Docker containers on AWS. Core technologies include git for source control, Docker for containerization, Yocto Linux for building device-specific distributions, Node.js for APIs and CLIs, and Go for the Resin Agent. Resin.io provides development tools like Flowdock, Mumble, Bitbucket, Jira and Confluence and uses a Git-based workflow for development.
The tools & technologies behind Resin.io

- 3. The tools and technologies behind resin.io
- 4. What’s in for today • Architecture Overview • Core Technologies • Development Tools and Processes
- 5. What is resin.io • Deploys your application to your remote Linux-based devices • Supports a dozen devices and any language/platform • Enables fast code/push/deploy development cycle
- 7. Architecture Overview • Service-oriented git, Dashboard, API, Builder, Registry, Proxy, Database • Deployed in Docker containers on Amazon AWS • Linux, Docker, Node.js, PostgreSQL
- 8. Architecture Overview • git • Performs authentication • Receives your code • Builder • Builds application image • Pushes to Registry • Notifies API • API • Notifies devices via Proxy • Resin Agent • Downloads new image • Kills previous container • Starts new container $ git push resin master
- 10. Core Technologies • git • Docker • Yocto Linux • Node.js • Go • SBVR & OData
- 11. • Entry-point to resin.io • Orchestration via hooks Authentication, progress report, etc. git
- 12. Docker • High-level API to underlying Linux technology cgroups, kernel namespaces, union filesystems (aufs, overlayfs, btrfs) • Containers • Light-weight, self-contained “virtual-machines” • Contain application code and dependencies • Provide isolation and resource management • Deployed as images • Same image can be deployed anywhere • Transient, running instances of an image
- 13. Yocto Linux • “Meta-Distribution” Set of tools to build Linux distributions • Single Linux distribution for all our supported boards • x86, x64, ARM architectures • Configuration via Board Support Packages (BSP) kernel, modules, bootloader, etc.
- 14. Node.js • Used for our CLI, API, Agent • Write once, deploy everywhere • Huge community and number of projects • Fast enough • Pyramid of dependencies • Memory footprint
- 15. Go • Used for our new Resin Agent • No interpreter! Tiny memory footprint and fast • Easy to cross-compile • Verbose syntax
- 16. SBVR & OData • SBVR “Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules” • OData Protocol for building RESTful APIs • PineJS
- 17. SBVR & OData Term: pilot Term: plane Fact type: pilot can fly plane Fact type: pilot is experienced Rule: It is obligatory that each pilot can fly at least 1 plane Rule: It is obligatory that each pilot that is experienced can fly at least 3 planes
- 18. SBVR & OData // Get all experienced pilots GET http://api.example.com/pilot?↩ $filter=(is_experienced eq true)
- 20. We Work Remotely • Distributed team People work remotely from 10 different countries • Offices in 3 countries Greece, UK, US • All-Resin call once a week • Ad-hoc calls • Summit once a year
- 21. Development Tools • Flowdock • Mumble • Bitbucket • Jira • Confluence • Vagrant + VirtualBox for our development environment
- 22. Development Workflow • Ticket in Jira • Branch in git • Pull Request in Bitbucket • Deployment to staging • Test and refine • Deployment to production
