Software Development Kit (SDK)
SDK stands for Software Development Kit: the tools and software to develop application through a specific platform. SDK provides libraries, document, templates, code sample, debugging, supportive documentation or additional document for developers to integrate into their software/ application. SDK can also be a combination of many APIs under the form of libraries to interact with the operating system.
Let's take a cellphone for an example. Every cellphone has an operating system with programmed API, and many underlying connected libraries. A kit of APIs that can be used for different hardwares with the same operating system.
Function of SDK
- Interact with hardware
- Interact with files
- Manage cookies
Event sourcing
Event sourcing is a term for an architecture that is designed for interaction/ communication between app A and app B. Event sourcing acts as a message-oriented middleware where data is stored and sorted on prioritized order, and ready to be called out for communication purpose between parties.
Consider Event sourcing as a mailbox to store the data for communication.
- event: stands for data
- sourcing: where the data comes from
Example: TIKI
Tiki is a marketplace for good tradings. Let's say TIKI has 3 types of parties
Marketplace
- Time of order
- Time of invoice
Warehouse
- Stock status
- Time of import/ export
Support
- Delivery status
- Goods returning
The data between parties has a connection with each other, and it needs interaction to smooth the process of goods handling and delivery. Different types of data (events) from different parties (source) will need a system to filter and organize it with prioritized order to make sure the communication goes smoothly, that's what Event sourcing is all about. __
React hook
Hooks are functions that let you “hook into” React state and lifecycle features from function.
