In order to help the developers with startup projects the Big Blue has opened another branch of Bluemix Garage in France.The International Business Machines Corp. has opened a “garage” in Nice, France which calls for the European developers to step into the Bluemix cloud’s development platform. This Bluemix Garage is set up with an intention to provide the developers of France a physical environment with sufficient accessibility to the development practices and latest tools for the applications belonging to the next generation.
Back in April 2014, the idea of Bluemix garage sprang to life in San Francisco and at the moment the company has been operating three such garages. After San Francisco, the garge blazed the trail to the Level39 startup incubator in London. Later in August 2015, Ryerson University set up a garage in Toronto in the vicinity of Digital Media Zone (DMZ). The recently established Nice facility makes up the part of the Nice Metropole’s European Business Innovation Center which is reportedly the largest European business incubators.
The $145 billion tech company has been mimicking the idea of Silicon Valley garage in order to entice the developers to the methods like continuous delivery, paired programming, and test-driven development. The company marks 140 tools, languages, and services accessible through the development environment presented in the Bluemix Platform as a Services and it subsequently teaches the developers about the methods through which the applications can be automatically scaled in the cloud.
ADVANSOLAR is among the early users of the Nice garage which, in mere few weeks, has developed an electric bicycle rental service by writing the applications in the garage. The time actually taken is almost half the anticipated time of developing such service. The Big Blue also provides instruction, in the garage, on IBM Design Thinking, Lean Startup –an entrepreneurial business practices, and eXtreme Programming.
Raphael Briere, CEO of the mobile application company cited that through actively working with design experts and IBM Cloud the company was able to hastily point out the chief features of the new service which further enabled it to develop and subsequently deliver them rapidly. He further added that the most difficult part of the process of development was to evaluate the appropriate service pricing and then developing it into the application.
Along with using programming tools, the mobile application company also expended the data collection through the Internet of Things including Node.js –a JavaScript app server language and NodeRed –a visual tool for wiring together hardware devices. The efficient amalgamation let ADVANSOLAR to have an apt knowledge of its bicycles and enable the firm to provide a top notch customer experience.
The general manager of IBM client technical engagement Steve Robinson cited that the garages have not been established for the sole purpose of aiming at startups. However, they have been established with a view of providing the large enterprise developers an opportunity of stepping outside their offices and look at problems through fresh lens while using the services accessible through Bluemix which also include Watson analytical services. He further stated that through the four garages around 20,000 new developers weekly are being assisted at the Bluemix cloud.
Moreover, according to BM, Bluemix is the world’s largest implementation of Cloud Foundry, the open source PaaS project.
