APIS & MBAAS: HOW TO EXTEND YOUR ARCHITECTURE FOR A MOBILE WORLD
7
The backbone of Appcelerator's MBaaS is Arrow, which provides a
powerful new opinionated framework for building APIs with an elastically
scalable cloud service for running them. With it, you can quickly connect,
model, transform and optimize data for any client, whether native or web.
Arrow consists of two primary components, Builder and Cloud. Arrow
Builder enables rapid assembly of APIs, data models and data connectors
via either visual wizard or programmatically. Arrow Cloud delivers an
instant, elastically scalable cloud service for running APIs and analyzing
their use, as well as full support for rich push notifications and ArrowDB,
which provides a new schema-less data store.
Arrow also provides prebuilt connectors to leading data sources including
Salesforce, Box, MS Azure, MS SQL, MySQL, Mongo DB, and Swagger.
