AWS IoT Greengrass component SDK for C, C++, and Rust applications
We're excited to announce the launch of a new Greengrass component SDK for AWS IoT Greengrass applications. This new SDK addresses the challenge of deploying sophisticated applications on edge devices with limited resources, enabling industries such as automotive, industrial IoT, robotics, and smart buildings to run more complex AI and ML workloads at the edge. Moreover, the new SDK maintains full compatibility with both AWS IoT Greengrass nucleus and nucleus lite capabilities.
The new Greengrass component SDK offers significant memory footprint reduction, with a footprint of less than 0.5MB compared to 30MB, enabling deployment on resource-constrained devices. It provides native C, C++, and Rust bindings, optimized for performance and cost-critical embedded applications. This SDK opens new possibilities for edge computing applications where memory constraints have previously been a limiting factor.
The new Greengrass component SDK is available in all AWS Regions where AWS IoT Greengrass is available.
