thenextweb.com
on 04/15/2013
Excerpt: Mobile backend-as-a-service Kinvey has released a new app that allows companies to use Salesforce’s CRM platform. It’s Kinvey’s first app, but the company says that through the use of its Data Links technology, it has created a much better experience than Salesforce. The reason is because it functions in a way that someone “would expect a mobile app to behave. ” Kinvey’s technology allows apps to have a customizable front-end that will enable companies to tailor it to their teams’ needs.... read the full post.

on 03/20/2013
Excerpt: We are thrilled to introduce the Kinvey Enterprise Edition platform. Just as Kinvey allows individual and agency developers to rapidly prototype, publish and manage consumer apps, we are now bringing that same power to enterprise developers that are responsible for equipping an increasingly mobile workforce with powerful business apps.

5 Best Practices For Deploying On AWS
kinveyposts.wordpress.com
on 02/12/2013
Excerpt: Amazon Web Services is a major Infrastructure as a Service provider that provides elastic capacity, quick deployment and automation for applications without using capital expenditure. Within AWS are several infrastructure building blocks, including EC2, S3, and RDS, to name a few. AWS may be a compelling choice for your app’s infrastructure needs, but remember, if you want more than just hosting, there are other categories of *aaS vendors, such as Platform as a Service, Software as a Service, and Backend as a Service, that address different application needs. You may want to consider vendors in “adjacent” service categories as well. That said, below is a list of best practices for hosting an app on AWS.... read the full post.

The Backend as a Service Ecosystem Map Update: A Growing Market
kinveyposts.wordpress.com
on 01/17/2013
Excerpt: Just six months ago, the backend as a service (or BaaS) category was small and relatively unknown in the general tech community. Now, though not quite a household term, BaaS is gaining recognition thanks to lift in media / analyst coverage and a surge in new companies entering the space. And not all of the new entrants are startups. In fact, some of the biggest tech players — like Microsoft with its Azure Web Services — are adding backend services to their suite of offerings. It’s only a matter of time until another behemoth like Google, Oracle or Amazon spin up (or acquire) their own backend platform.... read the full post.

RESTing Anywhere: Using Kinvey's API with the Lua Programming Language
www.kinvey.com
on 06/09/2012
Excerpt: With our REST API, you can use Kinvey's backend service from any language/runtime that supports HTTP. We currently provide iOS, Android, and Javascript libraries to make it easier for those platforms, but the story doesn't end just there. I found out that the guys at Gideros Mobile recently added Kinvey support to their Lua libraries. Their blog post highlighted how easy it was to use Kinvey to write Lua tables to the cloud. I wasn’t familiar with Lua, so I decided to learn a bit about it and see how much effort it would be to send data back and forth to a Kinvey backend.... read the full post.
