Jerome Dubreuil and his colleagues on the SAMI (Samsung Architecture Multimedia Interactions) team at Samsung saw a number of technical obstacles holding IoT developers back. The SAMI group made some key architecture decisions in the earliest days of building out an innovative ioT data platform, and from day one they knew that they would be building their platform following Reactive principles. Central to their efforts were the Scala and Play Framework for rapid prototyping and developer productivity, and Akka for the data transformation and WebSocket layers. Our case study looks at some of those key decisions that allowed SAMI to ship such an ambitiously scoped platform in less than two years.

Today, we're proud to share a case study with our customers at BrightTALK, a leading provider of webinars and videos for professionals and their communities.

We all know the newspaper industry has been in a steady transition from print to digital since the web transformed the way readers consume and journalists share news. The Guardian is a UK-based newspaper that has been at the forefront of this transformation, changing from a print-based organization to one that is digital-first in philosophy and practice. Implementing this new strategy has involved a series of bold changes not only to the way they do things, but with the tools and software they used to accomplish these tasks.
