Summary
In this chapter, we saw how to deploy your own server on the cloud, so you can have complete control over your Internet of Things projects with the ESP8266 Wi-Fi chip. We saw how to create your own server using Digital Ocean, how to deploy the aREST software there, and finally how to connect one ESP8266 to this newly deployed server.
You can of course now connect any of your ESP8266 projects to this server. You can simply use the projects you saw in this book that use aREST and connect them to your own server. You can also tinker with the code, and create new functions for your server application. If that's the case, don't hesitate to share your new features with the community!
