3. Developers need …
• Data
• Files, photos and videos
• Push notifications
• Users
• Advertising
• Analytics
• External data
… and don’t waste time on part of the system that are always
the same!

4. Focus on customer value!

5. The solution?

8. 2011
Backend as a Service
A cloud service (and on premise) that solves
typical server-side problems

9. Pros of a BaaS
• No server setup for each App
• No common code replica for each App
• Simple API
• Indipendence by the device OS
