WICC 2021 successfully held Rongyun launched a new observation of the developer service ecosystem

On July 24, the 3rd Global Internet Communication Cloud Conference (hereinafter referred to as WICC 2021) hosted by Rongyun, a leading global Internet communication cloud manufacturer, came to a close at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Beijing. In the summit forum, Rongyun founder and CTO Yang Pan brought a keynote speech on "Developer Service Ecological Exploration with Communication as the Core". Based on the developer's perspective, he comprehensively sorted out the globalization, Six comprehensive capabilities including compliance, full-stack, scenario-based, modularization, and integration.

As one of the highlights of this conference, in the summit dialogue session, the technical experts further discussed how to build a developer ecosystem, the purpose is to let developers release more energy, invest in their own business learning, and promote the industry Each link in the ecology "performs its own duties" to balance the power for the development of the industry.

Focus on the developer service ecosystem to meet the needs of globalization, compliance, and full stack

In terms of the developer service ecology, Yang Pan combined with the development trend of Chinese overseas enterprises in the global market, and first explained the developers' needs for the globalization, compliance and full-stack communication technology services.

Globalization, in Yang Pan's view, is not only to solve problems such as weak network, delay, and cross-border access through Rongyun's global communication network and global data centers, but also to solve different languages such as multi-language support and text-to-speech translation. , Communication barriers brought by culture and development habits and other issues.

In addition, in the process of globalization, experienced communication cloud vendors should remind developers to keep content compliance and security awareness at all times, to abide by laws and regulations such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and to avoid touching " The "red line" has caused companies to suffer unbearable losses.

Compliance, as a basic prerequisite for developers' business operations, can be summarized as including personal privacy, data security, data sovereignty, content security, and communication security. In addition to observing overseas laws and regulations in the process of globalization, the laws and policies on personal privacy and data security in China should not be ignored. When it comes to data sovereignty issues, it is necessary to follow the relevant regulations of the local country, such as setting up a local data center to avoid the risk of data sovereignty. In terms of content security, Rongyun has adhered to a bottom line since its establishment, and absolutely does not use developer and user data as a business model. In terms of communication security, Rongyun uses multiple measures such as link security, login credential authentication, and platform security management to ensure absolute user safety.

Faced with the full-stack needs of developers, Yang Pan explained: “In different vertical business scenarios, developers need different technical stack support. Facing Android, iOS, Web and other multi-terminals, Electron, Mini Program, Windows, Linux , Flutter, React Native, Unity, uni-app, H5 and other platforms, developers have put forward full-stack capability requirements for communication cloud vendors. "Full-stack support not only encapsulates all technical details, but also ensures Multi-terminal and multi-platform compatibility.

Analyze the trend of communication cloud services and provide scenario-based, modular, and integrated support

Scenarioization is the future development trend of communication cloud services, because it can greatly reduce the cost of developers. In the speech, Yang Pan brought Rongyun’s latest language chat room scene-based Demo and SDK to developers. By abstracting the business logic of the language chat room scene, he integrated IM and RTC capabilities, hiding complex integration details, and encapsulating them. The best practices for this scenario are for users to use. To the great delight of the developer community, Rongyun’s product truly realizes a “out of the box” high-speed experience. It only takes 30 minutes to complete the function integration, which greatly reduces the developer’s code pressure. In addition, Yang Pan also introduced Rongyun's first scenario-based SDK-call, which is suitable for many scenarios such as online interviews, remote financial services, remote medical services, and remote government services.

Modularization is also one of the ways to help developers save development costs. In the process of developing an App, developers often need to integrate dozens of SDKs. Common ones include red envelopes, emoticons, maps, voice-to-text, translation, etc. in IM, beauty, beautification, whiteboard modules in audio and video, etc. What Rongyun wants to do for developers is to prefer high-quality third-party supplies Providers, connect the supplier’s modules with Rongyun’s communication capabilities, thereby reducing development and integration costs. Developers can directly introduce related capabilities by simply checking and configuring, thereby reducing the time for docking with multiple suppliers and improving development efficiency.

Speaking of integration, Yang Pan focused on the CDN integration capabilities, Android push integration capabilities, and built-in audit capabilities that Rongyun can provide developers. Then Yang Pan concluded, “Stability and reliability are fundamental issues at the technical level. Security compliance, out-of-the-box integration, and integration are higher-level issues based on the business level. Developers choosing a communications cloud vendor must consider at least these two issues. Think at a different level. To gain the true trust of developers, cloud vendors also need to have the ability to trace problems and iterate quickly, so that they can follow and accompany developers to grow together without being abandoned."

Finally, Pan Yang warned developers that cheap quotes are not the only criterion for choosing third-party vendors. Developers should consider the total cost of use of an APP during the entire life cycle, that is, the overall cost-effectiveness. Stable quality, writing less code, and fast iteration-these are all important elements that should be considered.

Summit Dialogue: The ecological construction of developers requires diversity, symbiosis and evolution

In addition to Yang Pan’s speech on developer service ecology, the conference set up a peak dialogue session on the topic of how to build a developer ecology. It was hosted by Mr. Jiang Tao, Yang Pan, DCloud CTO Cui Hongbao, and Zhiliu Technology co-founder Wen Ming Three industry technology leaders participated in the seminar.

Among them, Yang Pan believes that developers should first strengthen their knowledge reserves. In addition to schools and books, they should also follow the development of the industry to continuously improve their strengths in the IT industry, computer programming, and algorithm languages. Secondly, the ecology depends on the community and open source. , Emphasize that everyone is for me, I am for everyone, everyone is not only a user, but also a contributor.

Wen Ming believes that to make developers aware of their value and contribution in the open source community, it is necessary to shape a positive image of the developer group. And Cui Hongbao said frankly that the development of the developer ecosystem must be diversified, symbiotic, and evolving. From the perspective of technological ecology, diversity will create more "wheels"; symbiosis will make the wheels cooperate with each other, and developers can build more applications on these wheels based on the same interface; and evolution means making the wheels continue to improve This requires the joint efforts of all sectors of the industry.

Concluding remarks

Throughout the previous WICC conferences, it seems that each time it can provide a new direction for the update and iteration of the industrial development thinking. WICC 2019 focuses on the technical capabilities and product planning of the Internet communication cloud, mainly focusing on "technical driving forces"; WICC 2020 focuses on communication scenarios and business capabilities, focusing on "application driving forces"; and this WICC 2021 conference focuses on Thinking about the development of the developer's service ecosystem, the focus is on the human-oriented "endogenous driving force", which will once again lead the industry to a higher level of depth.
