Innovation at work (at LG)
Learn how LG reduced development costs by 80 percent and liberated developer teams to focus on improving efficiencies by migrating its global Smart TV platform to the AWS Cloud.
Eliminating the traditional limits of IoT
To date, LG Electronics has sold more than 70 million Smart TVs and five million home appliances worldwide. The corresponding rate of customer activations for its Wi-Fi-connected devices has dramatically intensified the need for an IoT platform that would accommodate a limitless number of smart devices connected to LG servers. The company made the decision to migrate to an IoT infrastructure that would enable easier and more cost-effective management and security.
Migrating for simplicity and consistency
In 2016, LG moved to AWS to connect the ThinQ devices with its global Smart TV platform. LG also deployed AWS technology for serverless computing that registered ThinQ devices on the cloud, stored device data, and controlled device status information. Additionally, a customer support chatbot developed using AWS serverless services had been running successfully in Korea and the US since March 2018.
Moving at speed with managed services
By shifting labor-intensive workstreams to AWS managed services, LG was able to rapidly relaunch its IoT platform with minimal development resources. LG dev teams can now improve efficiencies by building onto the platform themselves and consulting with infrastructure teams only when development is nearly complete. AWS enables LG developers to focus on core tasks, such as writing business logic and running test environments. That’s the ease of innovation on AWS.
