Mobile Back-End Services Reviews and Ratings

Mobile back-end services deliver capabilities to mobile apps via APIs and/or software development kits (SDKs) that can be incorporated into mobile apps, and, increasingly, web apps and other digital channels. MBSs are commonly cloud-hosted services, but they can also be deployed in a virtual private cloud or even on-premises. The services are delivered as middleware between the client resident mobile apps and the enterprise systems of record, whether on-premises or in the cloud, along with any public or third-party data sources. In addition, many MBS providers also offer hosted databases for both structured and unstructured data. These hosted solutions can be independent of back-end data repositories, or they can be a buffer for the systems of record and provide a cached data source to isolate back ends from high transaction rates, which are often seen in conjunction with mobile apps.
