Case Study: Samsung achieves an easier third-party developer experience with Cloud Foundry

Samsung launches SmartThings DevPortal and DevWorkspace in 2017 with Cloud Foundry

Samsung, a major global electronics company, needed to provide an easy development environment for third-party and individual developers to build programs for its IoT ecosystem. Their challenge was to offer tools that simplified IoT development without requiring developers to manage underlying infrastructure, moving away from a previous container-based approach. They chose the Cloud Foundry platform to solve this.

By implementing Cloud Foundry, Samsung provided developers with a simple, GUI-driven workspace where they could drag and drop components to create IoT automation sequences. This solution allowed developers to focus on writing code without worrying about infrastructure, making development significantly easier. The successful launch of their Cloud Foundry-based SmartThings DevPortal and DevWorkspace helped Samsung advance its mission of expanding its IoT ecosystem by encouraging continued developer engagement.
