Azure Mobile Apps
Azure Mobile Apps is a cloud-based platform service from Microsoft that enables developers to build and deploy scalable mobile applications for iOS, Android, and Windows devices. It provides backend services such as data storage, user authentication, push notifications, and offline sync capabilities, allowing developers to focus on frontend development. The service integrates with other Azure offerings and supports various client SDKs for seamless mobile app development.
Developers should use Azure Mobile Apps when building enterprise or consumer mobile applications that require robust backend services without managing infrastructure. It is ideal for scenarios needing offline data synchronization, cross-platform support, and integration with Azure Active Directory for authentication. Use cases include field service apps, retail applications, and any mobile solution requiring scalable backend APIs and push notifications.
