Nova’s SDK container provides a secure environment in which you can execute your own code, be it written in Python, JavaScript, C++, or whatever language you choose. Native Alpine packages, or packages from npm or pip can be selected and installed, and your own code can either be stored in the container’s filing system, or injected via the subsystem’s configuration.
Nova also provides support for container orchestration, allowing you to define and run your own docker containers within the Nova platform. Containers can be created from your own image, or can be selected from a library of off-the-shelf options such as Node-RED, Mosquitto and PostgreSQL. Adding an MQTT broker to your application is literally a matter of four clicks.
