Earlier this year I wrote about building a sample to demonstrate various APIs of the platform. There is also a post describing the database schema and app’s storyboard. The application is now ready and I will be posting a video tutorial detailing every step of building an app, including the following: Development environment setup User…
Backendless has been referenced as a representative vendor in a Gartner publication – “Market Guide for Cloud Mobile Back-End Services”.
In my post yesterday I wrote about unlimited API calls for all Backendless apps. That means your application can make as many API requests as it needs during a billing period, which is one month even if the app is on the free plan. This also means all of the calls could be spread out…
As I am continuing my endeavor to describe all Backendless features, I wanted to step back and look at it differently. Not at the micro-technical level where I typically show an API or something you can do in our console, but something more fundamental. Something that differentiates Backendless in its core.

I am very happy to report that we released a new version of Backendless. The new release is tagged as version 1.9.0, which is a new numbering scheme for us – we used to label releases with names attached to various events. The new release is packed with features, improvements and bug fixes. I’d like…
As you develop your application, the backend accumulates a lot of development-related data. This data may include test objects in your data tables, random user accounts you used to see how logins work, meaningless geopoints or files. Sometimes you just wish you could delete all the data, but keep the data structures (tables, file directories,…
We have been hard at work on the new release. It has a combination of new features, improvements and bug fixes. A formal announcement will be posted as soon as the release becomes available, but in the meantime if you have an application you would like to try with the new build, please let us…
A few posts ago I published a proposed schema for the database design for a sample app which can process mobile to–go orders. As the first step in building the application, I put together a rather simplistic user interface mockup for the future app. You can see the mockup below: The UI is not a…
As we are progressing with the feature a day blog series, I thought it would be a good idea to come up with a fictional app which I could use in the feature posts. The idea for the app I will use as an example is a restaurant ordering system. Using the app a customer…
