Particle.io has a decent system for managing ota updates. It's not without
quirks, but it's got some nice bells and whistles. Of coarse then you are
committed to particle's platform, and all of it's quirks. I've only ever
used it with the (cellular) electron, I've not used it with the (wifi)
photon (still have the one I got at triembed a few months ago on my desk
waiting for my son and I to come up with a project for it.)
So I'm not sure what, if anything, it would cost to manage photons in thier
system.

Anyone consider or use OTA (over the air) updates on an ESP8266 or any
other IOT product? My use case is primarily managing certs. I figure it is
better to check git/github for a new cert vs making a cert that never
expires. Providing codes fixes OTA would be nice too, but is secondary.
It appears simple to do this using micropython
(https://medium.com/@ronald.dehuysser/micropython-ota-updates-and-github-a-match-made-in-heaven-45fde670d4eb)
but for Arduino and ESP8266 it is tailored to wireless updates in a LAN. My
guess it is not so simple, as you're flashing the actual binary.
Micropython hasn't proven to be reliable with the 'requests' library but
I've moved that off to an AWS EC linux instance, so all it has to do is be
an MQTT client. I will be testing to see how the reliability is with
simpler code requirements.
