A plurality of module twins that respectively correspond to modules of a plurality of modules of an edge application are stored on an edge device, and the modules comprise the edge application. The modules of the plurality of modules are capable of being used interoperably with other modules without altering the other modules. The plurality of module twins individually include metadata associated with the corresponding module of the plurality of modules. Communications are enabled between the modules of the plurality of modules and the IoT support service according to a common security context, and the metadata of each module twin of the plurality of module twins is synchronized based on the module.

Creation of modular applications with corresponding twins in the cloud

The disclosed technology is generally directed to communications in an IoT environment. In one example of the technology, module twins that respectively correspond to modules of edge applications on a plurality of edge devices are stored. The module twins individually include metadata associated with the corresponding module. Communications between the modules and the IoT support service according to a common security context is enabled. At least one module to be modified is determined. The determined at least one module is caused to be modified.

Cloud modification of modular applications running on local devices

A post is generated that identifies different types of activity in a computer system, such as changes to the data in the computer system. The post is generated in a language-neutral way. An activity feed generator generates a language-specific post and distributes it, in an activity feed, to a set of users, based on user preferences. The activity feed generator can also access a security model so that only users with sufficient privileges receive the post in their activity feed.
