Miami, FL – October 30, 2025 – Blynk, a leading low-code IoT platform trusted by 5,000+ companies and over 1 million developers worldwide, today announced the launch of its Blynk.Edgent Component for ESP-IDF, bringing enterprise-grade device management natively to the ESP-IDF development framework.
This new component gives professional IoT developers native access to Blynk's provisioning, connectivity, and fleet management capabilities directly within ESP-IDF. The release addresses the needs of enterprise and professional developers who require production-grade tooling while benefiting from the ease and reliability that has made Blynk.Edgent essential for IoT deployments worldwide.
By embedding these capabilities natively into ESP-IDF, Blynk enables developers to scale from prototype to production faster, with less custom infrastructure, reduced risk, and more time to focus on innovation.
As IoT projects move from dozens to thousands of devices, teams face increasing complexity around secure device onboarding, over-the-air updates, and multi-network fleet management. Building custom infrastructure for these capabilities can take months and divert resources from core product innovation.
The Blynk.Edgent Component for ESP-IDF solves this by delivering production-ready device management directly within developers' preferred framework—eliminating the need for custom infrastructure while maintaining the performance and reliability requirements of professional deployments.
Enable faster onboarding – Secure provisioning and seamless connectivity with ESP32 chips, Blynk mobile apps, and cloud integration
Ensure reliable operations at scale – Enterprise-grade OTA updates for managing device fleets without downtime
Provide instant visibility – Start quickly with ready-to-use dashboards and multi-network support, or customize monitoring and control to your specific needs
With this release, developers now have complementary ways to build with ESP32 and Blynk:
Arduino Path – Optimized for rapid prototyping and proof-of-concept development
ESP-IDF Path – Designed for production-grade deployments, now officially supported as a native ESP-IDF component
This flexibility allows teams to start quickly and scale confidently, moving seamlessly from prototype to enterprise deployment without switching platforms.
"At Blynk, we see our role as building the universal infrastructure layer for connected products," said Iryna Liashchuk, President and Co-CEO at Blynk. "By bringing native support to ESP-IDF, we're helping developers cut through complexity and know that the same platform they start with will carry them reliably into production and scale."
The component delivers comprehensive device management capabilities that would typically require months of custom development:
Blynk is a leading low-code IoT platform trusted by 5,000+ companies and over 1 million developers worldwide. It helps enterprises and developers build, connect, and scale production-ready IoT products faster. With full-service infrastructure for device management, secure provisioning, over-the-air updates, and cloud integration, Blynk powers millions of connected devices globally.
