By treating the apps in the umbrella as dependencies to be managed and built by rebar3, we can simplify the maintenance of the release, at the cost of increased build times: using Mix as before, it could track changed files better than using rebar. But the complexity and possibility of discrepancies make it using rebar much more compelling. |

emqx_resource
The emqx_resource is a behavior that manages configuration specs and runtime states
for resources like mysql or redis backends.
It is intended to be used by the emqx_bridges and all other resources that need CRUD operations to their configs, and need to initialize the states when creating.
There can be foreign references between resource instances via resource-id. So they may find each other via this Id.
The main idea of the emqx resource is to put all the general code in a common lib, including
the config operations (like config validation, config dump back to files), and the state management.
And we put all the specific codes to the callback modules.
