#### ObjectBox Database with EdgeX Foundry™ IoT Edge Platform - Edge Computing in IoT

Combining ObjectBox’ speed and ease of use with EdgeX Foundry™ IoT Edge Platform (EdgeX). EdgeX Foundry users can now compute millions of data points on the edge with minimal latency. ObjectBox’ small footprint of less than 1MB makes the database uniquely suited for small devices while the high performance on IoT edge devices and gateways, as well as fog nodes, allows you to compute more data on the edge with your existing hardware. Combining the speed and size advantages of ObjectBox on the EdgeX platform, we empower companies to analyze more data locally on the machine, faster than ever before.

This snap contains ObjectBox, all of the EdgeX Foundry™ core, security, and support reference services, as well as Consul, Kong, Vault, a JRE for the two remaining Java services, and a set of basic device services.

EdgeX Foundry™ is a vendor-neutral open source project hosted by The Linux Foundation. This snap combines EdgeX and ObjectBox and is provided by ObjectBox Ltd.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install ObjectBox with EdgeX

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
