Introducing sunnylink

We are thrilled to unveil sunnylink, our attempt at bringing the sunnypilot experience beyond the device in your vehicle. As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing your driving experience, sunnylink represents a significant step forward in customization and control. This feature empowers you to modify a wide range of sunnypilot settings, ensuring your vehicle operates exactly how you want it to. And this is just the beginning -- we have a host of additional features and settings planned for future updates.

Unprecedented Control

sunnylink is all about giving you the freedom to tailor your sunnypilot experience to your specific needs and preferences. We've developed a system that allows us to control a plethora of settings on the device and the abiliy to add new ones as they're developed. The list you see during the initial beta release is just the beginning. We're excited to see how you use these settings and what you'd like to see next. We are working on bringing more settings to the sunnylink interface as we speak with the most important one being an update button.

While changing the settings is nice, one of the biggest things said about the experience internally is how we're no longer leaning over to the device to make changes. We're excited to see how you use the settings and what you'd like to see next.

Your Security and Privacy: Our Top Priority

We understand that in today’s digital age, security and privacy are paramount. At sunnypilot, we take these concerns very seriously. With the introduction of sunnylink, we want to assure you that we have implemented robust security measures to protect your data. Here’s how we do it:

• No Data Storage: We do not store any personal information on our servers. The only information we store is on DynamoDB, where we store your setting backups. However, these are encrypted and can only be decrpyted by your device. This way, we can ensure that your data remains private and secure.
• Encrypted Communication: Any data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted. This ensures that your information is protected from unauthorized access during transmission.
• GDPR compliant analytics We're not using Google Analytics for our analytical data. We're using TelemetryDeck. We urge you to read their stance on privacy and how they're GDPR compliant.

By prioritizing your security and privacy, we aim to provide you with peace of mind as you use sunnylink to enhance your sunnypilot experience.

Our Tech Stack

At sunnypilot, we leverage a robust and modern tech stack to ensure the reliability, scalability, and security of our services. Here are some of the key technologies we use:

• Route 53: For DNS management and routing.
• API Gateway: To create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale.
• Lambda: For running code without provisioning or managing servers, allowing us to build serverless architectures.
• DynamoDB: A fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability.
• WAF (Web Application Firewall): To protect our web applications from common web exploits that could affect availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources.
• React: A JavaScript library for building user interfaces, ensuring a responsive and dynamic user experience.
• NextJS: A React framework that enables server-side rendering and static site generation for faster performance and SEO optimization.

By utilizing these technologies, we are able to provide a seamless, efficient, and secure experience for our users. Our tech stack is the backbone of our innovation, enabling us to deliver cutting-edge features like sunnylink.
