Thinger.io uses Ubuntu Core, snaps, and Snapcraft for easy IoT solution deployment for users

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.

Highlights

• The Thinger.io. platform enables rapid, full-feature third-party development of all types of vertical IoT applications
• Enables users, developers, and organisations to save time and effort in deploying their own IoT solutions
• Using Snapcraft, Thinger.io can quickly and regularly release its software as snap and Ubuntu Core images, improving the user experience
