Appery.io platform overview

Appery.io is the first mobile platform that offers a cloud-based rapid development environment with integrated backend services and a rich catalog of API plug-ins.

App Builder

Appery.io is visual IDE for creating mobile applications by dragging components, selecting from pull-down menus, and «connecting the dots» between backend systems and user interface controls. Browser-based development enables real-time collaboration between developers,

designers, and business users. Developers can create reusable assets that can be in the form of API plug-ins for integration to backend systems, custom components for the user interface, or application templates.

Frameworks

Appery.io is based on industry-standard languages and frameworks. Developers can code using HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, so the applications are portable across any platform. In addition, Appery.io leverages Apache Cordova and any third-party Cordova plug-ins to create native or hybrid apps that support native device capabilities. The platform leverages the very popular jQuery Mobile framework with a rich set of UI components.

Application Security

Appery.io delivers enterprise-grade security with our optional Enterprise Mobile Safe secure container. Apps are deployed in a secure container on the device and connected to a secure server, protecting all app artifacts such as data, code, and content with AES-256 encryption. Appery.io can also integrate with third-party secure container and enterprise app store solutions.

Integration with Enterprise Systems and Cloud APIs

Appery.io integrates easily with any available REST API without the need for coding. Developers connect the dots using a visual interface to map data between the application and the backend system. The Appery.io Enterprise Integration Server offers integration with backend systems including LDAP directories; relational databases such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL; and CRM systems such as Salesforce.com, REST APIs, and SOAP-based web services.

Integrated Backend Services (MBaaS)

Unlike point tools and other Mobile Backend-as-a-service (MBaaS) providers, Appery.io offers a complete platform with tools for designers and developers along with integrated backend services.
Appery.io backend-services include a cloud database (based on MongoDB) to store app data and manage users and files, a server code engine to support server-side business logic, and a push notification service to engage users even when the apps are not running.

Team Management and Real-time Collaboration

Appery.io team management capabilities enable team leaders to invite colleagues by sharing (and unsharing) user seats for the platform and by sharing (and unsharing) projects.
Because the development environment is web-based, with projects stored in the cloud, multiple users can view and mofigy applications at the same time.
