Develop and scale mobile services in cloud computing scenarios

Abstract

Mobile app development occurs in a highly competitive, and fast-moving environment. Small teams or even individual developers build apps that can be very successful, sometimes literally over night. Many of these successful apps are driven by backend services that are either interfaces to established web applications or that exist just for the purpose to serve the mobile apps. We discuss our experience with cloud computing scenarios which enable a small team to develop and scale mobile services for hundreds of thousands or even millions of users.
