Developer Guide

A comprehensive walkthrough of container development workflows, best practices, and implementation techniques for building production-ready applications with Atym. While some concepts may be familiar if you've completed the Quickstart Guide, this Developer Guide provides a much deeper dive into each topic with additional context, technical details, and advanced usage patterns.

You can follow the guide sequentially from beginning to end for a comprehensive learning experience, or jump to specific topics that address your immediate needs. Each section builds upon previous knowledge while introducing new concepts relevant to production development workflows.

In this guide​

  • Development Environment Setup: Set up the development toolchain and understand how it's used.
  • Setting Up a New Project: Set up your application files and configuration, and create your first application.
  • Creating Container-Based Applications: Develop your C/C++ application code, optimize your build system, configure your project settings, and leverage device capabilities — all specifically designed for Atym containers and WebAssembly.
  • Building Your Application: Compile your source code into a .wasm file and create an Atym container.
  • Deploying a Container: Upload your container to the Atym Hub, then run it on your device.
  • Resources: External references for OCI specifications, WebAssembly tools, and supporting Atym documentation.
