WICC 2021 will be held soon Jiang Tao talks about developer service ecology

Rongyun, a leader in the communication cloud industry, will hold the 3rd Global Internet Communication Cloud Conference (hereinafter referred to as WICC 2021) in Beijing on July 24 (Saturday). The registration page of the official website of the event is now live. The theme of this conference is "New Vision, Connecting the Future". In addition to sermons and practical sharing from industry technology leaders, the service developer ecology will also become one of the highlights of the conference.

What is the status of developers? How should PaaS vendors build a developer service ecosystem? Where are the opportunities for future developers? Jiang Tao, the host of the WICC 2021 summit forum, the founder & chairman of CSDN, and the founding partner of Geekbang Venture Capital, as the host of the summit dialogue on developer ecology, spoiled some of his insights before the meeting.

WICC 2021 is a great event for developers

According to the latest developer survey report: 90% of developers learn about the latest industry trends and acquire new knowledge through technical media, technical communities, technical forums and other channels; over 90% of developers plan to improve their competitiveness by learning new technologies. Even more than 50% of people are willing to buy video courses and graphic courses for learning.

Jiang Tao believes that the annual WICC is a good opportunity for developers to learn new Internet communication cloud technologies for free and improve their technical capabilities. To become an excellent developer, you must keep up with the times in terms of technical capabilities, maintain a strong curiosity and a good professional research spirit, so a developer event like WICC, no outstanding developer Should be missed.

Today’s communication cloud technology is evolving into an Internet infrastructure. This WICC focuses on new technologies and applications of real-time audio and video, network transmission and system architecture, scenario-based empowerment and innovation, and integrates AR, VR, MR, AI The combination of these cutting-edge technologies and the development of communication clouds will help developers better interpret technologies, scenarios, and future industry directions.

Jiang Tao inspired developers to think about how to make better use of existing resources, grasp the essence of technological development, and find the logic behind the technology, so as to broaden their technological horizons and broaden their careers in life.

PaaS vendors build a developer service ecosystem: the core is easy-to-use, easy-to-use and low-cost products

The core task of PaaS vendors to build a developer service ecosystem is to do a good job of the product, truly easy to use and easy to use, so that developers can solve the required functions with two or three lines of code, and even solve the problem with one click. For PaaS vendors, the test is their abstraction and simplification capabilities, not only to provide easy-to-use interfaces, but also to encapsulate various components with simple logic, so that the SDK is as complete and powerful as possible. If it is not a manufacturer that really masters the core technology, it is really difficult to do it.

In addition to product technology, Rongyun recently launched the industry’s first scenario-based language chat room solution, marking that PaaS cloud vendors have begun to go deep into the business logic layer in the second half of the competition. They must seek the combination of complex business logic and universal technology. The balance between the two needs to consider the versatility of the product in a specific scenario, but also to abstract out many business capabilities to find the common point between the two mutually exclusive attributes. This shows that cloud vendors have developed their concepts of easy-to-use and easy-to-use products to an advanced stage.

For developers, easy to use and easy to use is also reflected in the development documents to be clear and clear, and to "speak people's words." It is best for cloud vendors to have their own evangelists who will repeatedly preach product design concepts and basic functions through activities and communities. Especially when new products and new applications are launched, a process of educating the market, documents, community incentives and other content ecology is needed. The construction of it becomes even more important.

Finally, low cost is also an element that developers care about and value. The product is easy to use and easy to use to help developers save time and cost, and promotional activities are to help developers directly save development costs. This is also very necessary for cloud vendors to build their own developer ecology and cultivate their own developer system.

Future opportunities for developers: looking for innovative scenarios

With the arrival of 5G, the capabilities of the underlying infrastructure have been improved day by day, and new technologies have been gestating and emerging. Developers are paying more attention to the future market opportunities. Regarding this point, Jiang Tao believes: With the advent of 5G, audio and video technology will be more widely used. Among them, the real presentation scene and the multi-person interaction scene are two breakthrough scenes.

First of all, AR/VR is worth looking forward to. Due to the breakthrough in AR/VR technology and the combination with 5G technology, it will usher in great development in the next two to three years, bringing users more realistic scenes, not only the way of entertainment such as sightseeing, communication, etc. will change. The industry will also usher in brand-new changes, which will create new opportunities; secondly, the popularity of Clubhouse at the beginning of the year has made us discover that with the existing technical conditions already available, the onlineization of offline multi-person communication scenarios is a development in the social field. Direction and opportunity.

Facing the future communication cloud market, when technology changes and more interactive forms emerge, whether developers can explore new application scenarios and new application models depends on whether developers have prepared in advance, and there are always opportunities. It will reward those who are prepared. In a friendly and complete developer ecosystem, cloud vendors and developers will co-exist and prosper.

Concluding remarks

As far as this WICC is concerned, the main value of the conference is to broaden the horizons of developers and better serve the developer ecosystem. What are the core issues in the peak dialogue of the developer ecology? It is still waiting for developers to actively participate in the conference and bring more surprises and gains to everyone at the conference. What can be spoiled now is that in addition to the host Jiang Tao, the guests participating in the summit dialogue include: Rongyun co-founder & CTO Yang Pan, DCloud CTO Cui Hongbao, Zhiliu Technology co-founder, Apache APISIX PMC chairman, Apache Software Foundation member Wen Ming et al.
