Images displayed in your app may be responsible for a large portion of the bandwidth consumed by the device. This has a direct impact on the app’s performance, battery consumption, and the amount of memory the app allocates. As a result, optimizing images can often bring noticeable performance improvements for your app: the fewer bytes…
Suppose your app logs in a user. As a result, the app gets a user-token which uniquely identifies the user’s session with Backendless. If your app uses our SDK for Android, iOS, JS or .NET, the user-token value is managed directly by our libraries. Specifically, it is added to every API call to maintain the session…

In this article, we’ll talk about Backendless publish-subscribe messaging. One of the more common questions we receive is, “How can I get messages long after they are published?” The default mechanism in Backendless keeps messages in the published channel for a short period of time only (around a minute). This becomes a problem if a…
All available APIs for creating, updating and deleting objects in the Backendless database operate on single objects. This means that when you need to store multiple objects in the database, each object requires a separate API call. This increases the number of API calls your app makes. While it is great for us (hey, our…
