Good luck! Do you have any advice for people who wants to start a company?

Yes. I left MSFT for Shifu despite of the economic downturn. That how convinced I am about our technology!

Let me give it a try! We are trying to make developing IoT solutions as simple as developing an App. Think of iOS/Android, if you develop your App on those platforms, you don’t need to worry about the hardware underneath. Shifu is the iOS/Android of IoT era.

Right. That’s our vision!

A raspberry Pi with 2GB RAM is sufficient.

The successful ones always focus on the market. It's impossible to create a market from thin air. As entrepreneurs, we need to stay close to the customers, and listen to them.

I always dread being the old person in the mix, but I'm also incredibly curious about technology...Can someone please eli5 (or 50)?

So which means it can endow Kubernetes with the ability it would otherwise not have, to manage both devices and upper layer applications in the same infrastructure, right?

What are the common trends you find between startups that are successful vs. ones that aren't?

what's the minimum hardware requirement to run Shifu?

Interesting… Did you leave microsoft to start your own project? What do you feel about start a company in the current economy?

k3s works too! Shifu is a CRD which only requires a k8s distribution. It doesn't have to be upstream k8s.

Looks like you are the expert of IoT! The main difference between shifu and EdgeX is k8s native. Being k8s native, shifu is inherently highly available and distributed. This is also one of the main reasons shifu is being used in multiple production scenarios.

but what's the difference between shifu and say... Edge X?

it appears the same to me

Got it, but whether its K8s cluster require high performance?

Because we can write Golang programs much faster : P

public protocols: HTTP, MQTT, OPCUA, RTSP, ADS, BACnet, CBus, Eip, Knx, Modbus.

In addition, Shifu can support proprietary protocol/drivers! Here's an example: https://shifu.run/docs/guides/cases/connect-unsupported-protocol

Yes. Shifu extends the power to the world of IoT. To be more specific, k8s manages containers, and Shifu manages IoT devices (on top of k8s).

Hello, Yonny Chen. I am very very interested in IoT and I would like to know why Shifu used golang instead of rust or other languages?

I wonder what protocols and devices does Shifu currently support? just some or all of it?

[deleted]

Just had a glance, so is Shifu an enhancement to some of the K8s features?

Users, please be wary of proof. You are welcome to ask for more proof if you find it insufficient.
