Just like any other software application, Mobile Apps do need an efficient place to store all the data and information at one place. Besides developing sought-after mobile apps, the industry inclines towards finding the appropriate Cloud services for keeping the data safe at the backend.<\/p>\n

Defining Backend as a Service (BaaS)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With the rapid development of mobile technology, gone are the days when developers had to build their own infrastructure to store and save the data. It\u2019s the era of Cloud-based storage, and BaaS plays a major role in providing mobile backend services. Expanding to Backend as a Service, BaaS provides a way for developers to connect their applications to the backend cloud storage along with features like push notifications, user management and social networking services integration, business logic and others. These services are accessible through Software Development Kits (SDKs) and Application Programming Interfaces (API\u2019s) for backend services.<\/p>\n

Similar to an enterprise\u2019s concern for choosing a suitable cloud computing platform for their web applications, now it\u2019s about finding the right Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) for mobile apps. From the recent report on Cloud\/Mobile Backend as a Service (BaaS) Market<\/a>, the\u00a0 market of BaaS is expected to reach $28.10 Billion by 2020 (from $1.32 Billion in 2015) with a CAGR of 84.2%.<\/p>\n

Why do we need BaaS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you think that developing a scalable backend infrastructure can be managed by the Android and iOS developers, you may be wrong. A mobile backend requires a completely different set of skills unlike creating scalable mobile apps. Furthermore, the development process becomes long-delayed when both the tasks (developing UI\/UX and creating backend cloud storage) are performed by developers.<\/p>\n

Today, we don\u2019t have to take the burdens of building a backend for your service. They are readily available to mobile application development enterprises<\/a> for a quick and better support.<\/p>\n

Key Features of using BaaS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before choosing the right BaaS platform, it is significant to know what all important features does BaaS provide to a mobile app developer. Keep in mind these key benefits before making a choice (the choices may differ depending on the requirements, type of app and budget)<\/p>\n

> <\/strong>Consists of native libraries for Android, iOS, Windows and more<\/p>\n

> <\/strong>Provides smooth user management, which allows linking the app user\u2019s social accounts during the application registration<\/p>\n

> <\/strong>Delivers agility, pace and simplicity during modifying any app functionality or a data structure without wasting time in the traditional build-test-review-deployment cycle in the App store<\/p>\n

> <\/strong>By leveraging on API BaaS, enterprises saves additional costs and extra time invested in developer and backend cycles.<\/p>\n

> <\/strong>Poses no dependency on the local device storage limit; this cloud-based file management system for mobile apps allows unlimited storage of images, videos and any other graphic-rich data. The data is then easily available (on the Cloud) when needed.<\/p>\n

> <\/strong>Send frequent push notifications for regular updates to enhance the user engagement. It can trigger the push notification whenever a change is added to the app. Developers can easily define these push triggers inside a BaaS panel.<\/p>\n

> <\/strong>One of the most loved features of API BaaS is its expertise in SQL-style queries and full-text searches. This lets developers quickly access data entities confirming to different criteria. The data can be further used for user management, sending push notifications and performing other app-related operations.<\/p>\n

Read through the list of great Mobile Backend as a Service (MBaaS) platforms to consider while choosing a suitable service for your app.<\/p>\n

> <\/strong>Boasts to power the IoT platform for smart apps<\/p>\n

Backendless<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

> <\/strong>Integrated and general-purpose, Backendless provides cloud services with REST and native APIs<\/p>\n

> <\/strong>After the announcement of Parse discontinuing their service, Backendless can be a possible for many as it hosts powerful, secure and reliable file storage solution<\/p>\n

> <\/strong>Consists of a \u2018server-side appstore\u2019 offering new services, code generators and database connectors<\/p>\n

Quickblox<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

><\/strong>One of the trusted backend services for communication and chat, Quickblox claims to be used by more than 30,000 software developers and organizations across the globe. It is recognized by leaders like TNW, TechhCrunch, Forbes and Financial Times<\/p>\n

> <\/strong>Enables real-time chats for end users helping users attach files, videos and images<\/p>\n

Anypresence<\/strong><\/p>\n

> <\/strong>Simplifies the process of building enterprise mobile apps with extensive developer flexibility<\/p>\n

> <\/strong>Allows brilliant user readability such that if not well experienced with using mobile can also get started using your app without any trouble<\/p>\n

There is no golden rule when choosing an appropriate BaaS for your mobile app. Just analyze and compare the features of each (mentioned above) in reference to your objectives, app\u2019s behavior, budget constraints and expectations for an improved business. Mobile Backend as a Service (MBaaS) certainly simplifies a mobile application\u2019s execution and thus, delights the customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
