Quick guide: Build a mobile app on Azure

All the major clouds offer mobile back ends as a service, but InfoWorld judged Azure's to be the best. 

Building mobile apps needn’t be hard, but it often is. You spend time rolling your own cloud services, integrating with various push services, building databases, even setting up single-sign on -- that is, installing the plumbing when you could be writing code instead.

To avoid doing it yourself, you now have the option of using MBaaS (mobile back end as a service). InfoWorld recently compared MBaaS offerings from Amazon, Google and Microsoft -- and rounded up several independent MBaaS providers last year -- all of which are designed to make it easier to build mobile applications.

MBaaS makes a lot of sense. As with cloud-hosted email, you’re handing over the infrastructure your app needs to a platform that’s designed to run at scale. You’re also taking advantage of its services and features, including SQL and NoSQL stores, as well as scalable Web servers and integration with platform-specific notification tools. An app written on one MBaaS system can send notifications to Apple’s, Google’s, and Microsoft’s services based on user preferences.
