Chapter 2. Red Hat Mobile Application Platform
2.1. Overview
Red Hat Mobile Application Platform speeds up the development, integration, deployment, and management of enterprise mobile applications for businesses. The platform offers a suite of features that embrace collaborative app development, centralized control of security and back-end integration, and deployment in cloud, on-premise, and hybrid infrastructures. Enterprise mobile developers and DevOps teams can build mobile apps and services that can be used and reused across multiple organization-wide mobile projects. Developers can use the client-side tools of their choice while still accessing platform functionality for integration, collaboration, deployment and management via platform APIs and SDKs.
2.2. Studio
Studio, the web-based interface of the platform, allows for creation, deployment, monitoring, and life-cycle management of all mobile, cloud, and Mobile Backend-as-a-Service (MBaaS) portions of a project. With a variety of starter templates, fully-integrated editor and build interface, the Studio offers simplified launching or integration of mobile projects, featuring enterprise-level capabilities and infrastructure, that seamlessly transition into more complex, large-scale solutions as applications mature.
2.3. Client Applications
Mobile, web, and cross-platform client applications can be built with relative ease via usage of native and hybrid mobile SDKs available for iOS, Android, Windows, Xamarin, Cordova, and other HTML5 frameworks. Integrated life-cycle process and build support allow for simplified, consistent artifact creation and distribution.
2.4. Cloud Applications
Cloud applications, written in Node.js, serve as both server-side endpoint and API resource for client applications which interact via RHMAP SDKs. Cloud API options, such as security, session management, data caching and synchronization, to name a few, are integrated at this level.
2.5. Mobile Backend-as-a-Service
Mobile Backend-as-a-Service (MBaaS) hosts a set of services, created from template or scratch, which support and extend cloud application functionality across one or more projects. Examples include infrastructure management tools, security implementations, shared data sources, integration of popular third-party solutions, and more.
