During the spring, I took a course in Cloud computing. The idea is to use cloud computing with BCI systems to make them faster and mobile.
The overall concept of a cloud is that the service should more or less always be available. Availability means, among other things,
- that the service needs to scale according to the load,
- have replicas of the backend (because things will fail and you have to design for failure),
- and you probably want to write everything as microservices (that run independently of each other).
Many details need to match before you have a working cloud system. We learned to use many tools, such as Docker, CI/CD, Ansible, Terraform, Redis, Open stack, and many more during the course.
As a final project, I did a prototype for how we could build a BCI system on the cloud. It worked and showed how much I have learned during this course. I’m proud!
