Features

• Backend-as-a-Service Integrations - Connects Apple applications to a cloud backend to handle data storage, user authentication, and synchronization without managing server infrastructure.
• Mobile Backend SDKs - Provides a comprehensive client-side SDK for iOS and macOS to manage authentication, data persistence, and cloud synchronization.
• Cloud Database Clients - Acts as a client-side interface for interacting with a cloud-hosted database, supporting both schemaless objects and relational data links.
• Local Data Stores - Stores objects directly on the device to ensure offline access and trigger automatic synchronization with the cloud backend when connectivity returns.
• Local Persistence - Caches remote objects in a local SQLite database to provide offline access and enable background synchronization when network connectivity returns.
• Offline-First Persistence - Implements an offline-first synchronization engine that caches state locally and automatically queues background operations for cloud synchronization.
• Persistent Application State - Saves and retrieves structured objects in a remote database to maintain application state across user sessions and different hardware devices.
• User Authentications - Verifies user identities and maintains active sessions to secure application access and associate personal data with specific individual accounts.
• Offline Request Queues - Schedules save and delete requests to execute automatically when network connectivity becomes available, even if the application restarts in the meantime.
• Backend-as-a-Service Platforms - Functions as a client-side framework for integrating mobile applications with a backend-as-a-service platform.
• Schema-Agnostic Storage - Stores arbitrary key-value pairs as flexible objects in a remote database without requiring predefined table structures or rigid data migrations.
• Delta-Based Synchronization Engines - Transmits only modified object fields to the server during updates to minimize bandwidth consumption and reduce potential data conflicts.
• Object-Relational Mapping - Maps local object instances to remote database records by serializing properties into structured JSON payloads for network transmission.
• Real-time Data Synchronization - Subscribes to server-side data changes to push live updates to mobile devices, ensuring users always see the most current information.
• Live Update Subscriptions - Subscribes to data changes on the server to push live updates to the client application as soon as records are modified.
• Relational Data Modeling - Connects objects by storing references to other records to ensure data consistency and integrity across related entities.
• Relational Data Modeling - Structures complex data relationships within mobile applications to ensure consistency and integrity across linked records in a cloud database.
• Remote Data Fetching - Fetches stored objects from the cloud using unique identifiers or updates existing local instances with the latest server state.
• Schemaless Data Stores - Provides a schemaless data model allowing storage of arbitrary key-value pairs without predefined database schemas.
• Real-time Data Subscriptions - Maintains persistent socket connections to receive server-side push notifications that trigger local state updates when remote data changes.
• Partial Update Strategies - Modifies specific fields on existing objects and transmits only the changed data to the server to minimize bandwidth usage.
• Queued Retry Executors - Schedules pending network requests in a persistent task queue that automatically retries operations when the device regains a stable connection.
