Rise in mobile apps to drive market for BaaS

SAN JOSE, USA: GIA announces the release of a trend report on Backend as a Service (BaaS). Market for Backend as a Service (BaaS) is projected to witness robust growth led by web and mobile app developers' focus on reducing development costs and accelerating time-to-market.

Backend as a service (BaaS), also referred to as mobile backend as a service (MBaaS), is a unique platform that enables mobile and web application developers to store their applications on a backend cloud infrastructure.

Developers are thus able to channel their energies towards developing and marketing their applications, rather than investing time and money in maintaining and managing an in-house backend infrastructure for app related backend services such as push notifications, cloud storage and social networking features.

The trend report titled "Backend as a Service (BaaS)" announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc. is a focused research paper which provides cursory insights into the technology, its evolution, applications, future prospects, and corporate initiatives of key companies worldwide.

The report in addition provides global market estimates and projections for Backend as a Service (BaaS) in US dollars for years 2012 through 2017. Also included is coverage on companies such as Appcelerator Inc., Buddy Platform Inc., CloudMine, Flurry Inc., and mobDB LLC, among others.
