Re: [aerogear-dev] Mobile Statistics using Grafana, Prometheus running on OpenShift

Thanks David. Really good question. I ignored mobile implementation in demo as most of the work for this was done on server side. I'm using different more extended use cases to drive SDK work. For mobile application there were couple manual steps: 1) Generate mobile configuration using mobile-client (not mobile specific) 2) Drop configuration including URL into application (not mobile specific) 3) Extract URL from configuration. 4) Use AFNetworking framework (IOS) to make network request. I did not implemented that on Android platform, but flow should be the same. After obtaining URL/configuration to service users can make any API calls. The only complexity will come with authentication - for example when using keycloak, but that will require additional effort. IMHO At this point it's better to rely on sync service for initial SDK service as it has non trivial client implementation (business logic etc.) It's also clear that Sync will be used with some modified form. For SDK investigations we are focused on extending step 3 and 4 into core of our library. Once that is done we can simply integrate two most important SDK's: Sync and Push. Main goals are: - Investigate/implement android core library that will create map of services from provided json/plist file. - Integrate existing SDK sync and push - Try to extract network into core (using aerogear-android-pipe from push server) In the mean time we are working on SDK proposal and top level API (using annotations) BOM style dependency management that will improve user experience and reduce versioning hell on Android platform. After doing that we can drive this forward and run sync behind keycloak which should show us how we can provide authentication. We may also extend mobile-cli to provide more service specific information that is needed. I think that clearly summarizing entire SDK initiative at this moment.
