Cool project thank you for sharing it! I was checking out BalenaCloud and BelenaOS and noticed you support more advanced embedded devices (such as the pi) but are there any plans on supporting lower cost IoT devices? Similar to Azure IoT hub, Amazon FreeRTOS IoT, etc?

In either case I can completely see the value in these IoT SaaS services. A lot of companies I see which want to get into IoT are experts in their own field - not networking. It is very easy to underestimate how much work it is getting everything up and running which is required for a product. You can always roll your own cloud solution later on once you gain the expertise and market fit.

We're currently focused on devices that can run Linux. The smaller devices are a different kind of challenge, and while we do have some ideas about how to achieve the same level of developer experience for them, it's not out yet. :)
