The Thick Terminal

Evadne Wu:

I still firmly hold the belief that iOS applications are either loss leaders or loss generators, that iOS devices themselves are thick terminals, and that a proper iOS execution strategy must be backed with a useful service either involving real world consequences (i.e. get a ride or get groceries delivered), or a wider cross-platform strategy (i.e. build your document on one platform, revise on another).

Airtime uses AWS Simple Notification Service (SNS) and AWS Simple Queue Service (SQS) to power the pub/sub event backbone that connects producer services to consumer services.

A loosely-coupled, event-based architecture based on AWS services.
