Using a Backend-as-a-Service by Tim Anglade
Recorded May 07, 2013 at ChicagoRuby Downtown
Usually regrouping platforms like Parse, StackMob, baas.io or Kinvey, Backend-as-a-Service (or BaaS for short) is a powerful new class of tools that is fast becoming essential to developers, especially for mobile projects. Tim Anglade will explain what this fancy new beast is, show you why it drastically shortens mobile app implementation timelines, and why it may be your best bet to simplifying and scaling your Rails apps in 2013!
