Ubuntu case study
Why Thinger.io turned to snaps
Canonical published a case study on how Thinger.io builds and deploys its IoT platform with Ubuntu Core and snaps.
Thinger.io is a Spanish start up founded in 2015 who aim to enable any developer or organisation to develop IoT applications across a range of sectors, with examples including smart cities, Industry 4.0 and energy monitoring. Thinger.io has already grown to have 10,000 registered users of their platform but with such growing demand, they needed a quicker way to deliver their systems and applications.
With a philosophy of using flexible and open technologies, Thinger.io discovered snaps as their ideal solution. Using Snapcraft.io for building snaps has decreased their development time dramatically and streamlined the time taken to release new packages.
Learn more about Thinger.io, and how we built and deployed snaps, by downloading the case study available on the Ubuntu blog. The build pipeline behind those snaps is in the post that announced the installable package.
