1.1 What is Ripple?

Ripple is derived from Firebolt Reference implementation, it is a Rust-based Application gateway that provides support for System, Native, and 3rd party applications for Video-based devices. Ripple will provide a Firebolt Gateway which will be used by Distributors and App Developers to interact with the Application platform to discover, launch, and manage video streaming applications.

1.2 Why do we need Ripple?

Standardization: Ripple provides a secure and standardized Firebolt API gateway for 3rd party applications to communicate with the underlying platform. 

Certification: Ripple versions are certified using a stringent set of Firebolt Certification suites and it can be tested across multiple platforms. This offers increased quality control which can be scaled across devices and operators.

Abstraction: Ripple abstracts the applications from the underlying platform such that the platform can be upgraded or changed altogether.

Extensible: Ripple can extend to multiple device types and platforms through Extensions more about it here. // insert link
