Backend as a Service

Backend as a Service - What is it?

A BaaS is a service that systematizes backend development and manages server-side infrastructure. Using a backend as a service, you will delegate server maintenance and management responsibilities to a 3rd party and focus on frontend development. Also, a mBaaS will provide features to help you create backend code and accelerate the development process. It is pre-built components like data management, APIs, social media integrations, file storage, and push notifications.

Why use a BaaS?

A backend as a service will resolve 2 issues:

·     Speed up backend creation
·     Cloud infrastructure management

Benefits and Drawbacks

Here are the advantages and cons of using a BaaS.

The PROS

·     No need to worry about infrastructure
·     Development price - it's very cheap
·     Speed of development - it's super fast

The CONS

·     A lower level of customization compared to a custom backend
·     Less flexibility compared to custom coding
·     Vendor Lock-In for Closed Source Platforms

BaaS and mBaas are the same things?

Yes! MBaaS handles mobile projects and BaaS web projects.

BaaS – When to use it?

Here are 3 common use cases for using a BaaS:

·     Creating a Minimum Viable Product
·     Applications that require a small number of integrations
·     Non-mission critical enterprise applications

For the present use cases, using a backend as a service is the right choice and will save you a lot of money and time.

What features does a BaaS have?

A BaaS will provide features that can be implemented to apps of all categories. Examples are:

·     Data management
·     Push Notifications
·     Email Verification
·     Social Integration
·     Authentication
·     Cloud Code Functions
·     Geolocation
·     Push Notifications

Backend as a Service Pros & Cons

Backend as a Service A BaaS can be seen as a bridge connecting an application's backend and frontend. BaaS helps developers accelerate the creation of web and mobile applications and simplifies the creation of APIs. Instead of coding the entire backend, the developer uses BaaS to build APIs and connect them to applications. Why use a BaaS? Backend-as-a-service (BaaS) is a cloud computing service that serves as middleware. It provides developers with a way to connect their mobile and web applications to cloud services from APIs and SDKs. The link below provides the definition of BaaS provided by Techopedia. https://www.techopedia.com/definition/29428/backend-as-a-service-baas BaaS enables mobile and web developers to completely abstract server-side infrastructure. Developers can assemble the necessary building blocks and just write the code that connects them. This allows developers to focus on front end U / X experience rather than dealing with backend infrastructure and...

Gone are the days when you are compelled to sit down for donkey hours, writing codes to create your Android and iOS app. These days, you can develop top-notch mobile and web applications without extensive coding. All you need is to select the right application development platform. In this respect, a platform like Firebase known for its realtime database would readily come to mind. It is a  Backend as a Service Platform  that Google bought over in 2014. Firebase presents massive tools for expediting app development assignments. However, the shortfall of Firebase is that it’s a proprietary platform, i.e., not open-source. This means that developers are locked in the platform. Moreover, Firebase does not support GraphQL APIs. This article creates an objective list of options that developers can use as alternatives to Firebase. The comparison would also help you select the best backend option for your app development needs. Businesses that are hoping to hire developers for their ...
