Following its success in the cloud and IT world, the adoption of containers is gaining momentum in the embedded world due to the real business and technical value they deliver. They can effectively address some of the most pressing challenges faced by the embedded industry, such as the costly and time-consuming outdated development methods, and the cumbersome process of porting software components to other projects.

An embedded web server is a small, lightweight web server designed to be integrated into other software or hardware systems with limited resources. When it comes to IoT devices, choosing an embedded web server is a decision that can greatly impact performance and costs. These small web servers are essential for providing a web-based interface for monitoring and controlling devices, but there are several challenges to their development that must be addressed.

Picture yourself as an embedded developer, challenged with the task of building a GUI for an embedded systems, for example sportwatch that needs to display a wealth of information, from health and fitness stats to text messages and social media updates. But how can you create a user-friendly interface that’s both responsive and power-efficient, given the device’s limited resources and processing power?

Javascript is gaining recognition as a versatile programming language for embedded systems development. Its rise in popularity can be attributed to its usefulness in rapidly prototyping and testing product ideas. The high-level abstractions offered by JavaScript make the development process easier and more efficient.

We always talk about prototyping a website or a mobile application. Have you ever heard of prototyping IoT and embedded products?
