Cloud infrastructure, connected applications and the decisions behind a scalable mobile experience.
The article considers cloud-backed applications that use remote services for processing and data storage. A mobile interface connects to those services through APIs, while selected data can be cached locally.
It introduces scalability, device access and infrastructure planning as reasons to consider this approach. It also discusses offline synchronisation, third-party integrations, backups and the differences between private, public and hybrid environments.
Published in 2022, it is an archive perspective on planning cloud applications, rather than a current comparison of cloud providers.
