Go is a relatively new language and allowed us to create REST API in few hours/days. In addition we planned to have many microservices, each of them doing just one small thing, the Unix way.

This ended up in having an easy way to update the system, with just a single binary and all dependencies in it. We need frequent updates to our web applications and most of the apps are custom. The division of tasks allows developers to feel comfortable in their own expertise area.

We wanted to separate the frontend and the backend, we have frontend engineers and web designers that are very good at css/js, and backend engineers who knows how to design a REST API. If you are a tech addicted like me you know there are many downsides of using PHP, or at least it was not a good fit for us for many different reasons. It is widely used, there are many developers proficient in it, and many of the Arduino developers are familiar with it. We based most of our web applications on PHP for many reasons.

PHP for widely used Application built by other communities (forum, blog, etc.).

Angular.js as the framework to create complex and nice websites.

Go Language at the heart of our Web Applications.

We started following the agile development methods, including a daily standup meeting to better coordinate our team of designers and developers, we create dedicated topic channel in our chat system to better tackle issues and follow the improvements roadmap, and we created clear todo lists organized by priority. The team has been always under a tight schedule, at first we started fixing legacy bugs all around, many are still in progress, but we also started experimenting with new things. Putting together the team has been key, but we also needed to change some aspects of the way we work. How did we achieve these results? It has been a challenge but, from November on, we started building a new Web team with a good mix of junior and more experienced developers.

Clear division between presentation and functionalities (client/server architecture).

Website online and running 99.98% of the time.The Arduino Day website was a testbed for some new features of the new architecture we want to achieve. This single-page website was the perfect fit to start experimenting with some new technologies we wanted to put in production.

Here at Arduino we are doing a big shift in terms of technology, user experience, and web improvements.Ī new Arduino web ecosystem is arising, and the first hint of this new approach is visible in the Arduino Day website.

The last couple of months have been the most exciting of my entire career.
