The Magic Behind Enterprise Apps: How to expose Reliable, Scalable and Secure Enterprise APIs?
The Magic Behind Enterprise Apps: How to expose Reliable, Scalable and Secure Enterprise APIs?
Enterprise mobile apps consume and mashup data from a variety of backend applications through APIs and a successful mobile app performs it efficiently to provide a seamless and enjoyable experience to the user.
This session covers the often forgotten back-end architecture for mobile apps which should expose cross-platform APIs to mitigate some of the effects of mobile O/S fragmentation. This will entail a detailed discussion of the evolution (or devolution) of the three tier architecture into an optimized, decoupled 2-tier architecture for API exposure that addresses security and data mediation among other capabilities. As a result, this approach enables a traditional Enterprise to leapfrog to mobile applications.
An attendee should expect a discussion of design patterns followed by a conference room booking demo to illustrate the approach.
Topics covered include, the role of Websockets in optimizing performance, mobile friendly security workflows and open source tooling for HTML 5 client app development.
