Micron, USA – PaaS for IoT Development

Micron, a global leader in medical technology and smart devices, needed a faster and more efficient way to develop and deploy software for IoT-enabled medical systems. These systems include motors, cameras, and laser equipment used by doctors, researchers, and healthcare professionals.

Their main goal was to speed up development, improve collaboration, and reduce reliance on costly hardware without sacrificing performance or delaying product releases.

Key Challenges:

• Developing software for diverse IoT hardware with different configurations
• Avoiding testing bottlenecks caused by limited access to expensive medical hardware
• Coordinating collaboration across distributed development teams
• Simplifying and speeding up software deployment workflows

Technology Stack:

Cloud Infrastructure Models:

• Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Development & Testing Tools:

• Cloud-based PaaS development environment
• Programming in C++
• Microsoft SQL Server for data handling

IoT Hardware Simulation:

• API integrations and cloud-based simulators to emulate device behavior

DevOps & Collaboration:

• Shared cloud workspaces
• Version control systems
• CI/CD pipelines for automated builds, testing, and deployment

Result:

• Optimized hardware usage through virtualization, reducing costs and test delays
• Parallel development enabled across global teams without conflicts
• Faster time-to-market with streamlined build and deployment cycles
• Enhanced team collaboration and development efficiency
• Reduced dependency on physical infrastructure, supporting remote and agile workflows
