The transfer of cloud-native technologies and development principles to the embedded world enables new ways of building and managing software for resource constrained devices. Therefore, we started developing a platform to manage applications delivered via containers in an automotive context. It addresses the specific needs and requirements of vehicle systems, like low resource consumption, scalability, security, flexibility, startup and failover. We will recap our journey developing this platform, take a deep dive into problems and solutions encountered during the development to the current date. Fasten your seatbelts for a bumpy ride through a platform development with continuously moving requirements and structural changes, while ensuring a working product at all time, with too little time.
