Value Prop
For software developersNo need for server-side software developmentSmaller teams for front end only: lower costsBetter user experience on mobile devicesSupport for occasional connectionMore secure than “roll your own”Faster time to value
For system administratorsLess network traffic, lower mobile data billsApache License for your cloud or data centerManage platform with familiar tools for AWS or AzureMove apps between development, testing, and productionLower cloud hosting cost for compute, storage, and transactionsService abstraction prevents lock-in
Enterprise Security
Server-side characteristicsOpen source code base + security auditsBuffer overrun and SQL injection awareRuns on your cloud infrastructure
Client-side controlsComprehensive unified services paletteUser management, single sign-on, open registration, guest
accountsInstant session updates for administrative changesProgrammable CORS support
User roles and permissionsControl application visibilityCRUD access for SQL data objectsCRUD access for Big Data sourcesExpose BLOB storage systems by folder treeREST access to services with credential hiding
Design Points
Standards-Based REST Service ArchitectureGZIP compression for 95% bandwidth reductionJSON object, array, and relationship supportDocument exchange less than 250 millisecondsSession ID as Cookie or URL parameterSwagger support for documentation and testingProgrammable CORS services (run on website or desktop)
Server Software Package for LAMP StackVHD package for any Virtual MachineCompatible with many different databasesCompatible with multiple processors, load balancers, etc.Compatible with server side HTML page generationWorks out of the box but can also be customizedService virtualization allows application migration
