Node Summit, San Francisco, CA –January 24, 2012 – FeedHenry, the developer of cloud-based mobile application solutions, has launched thefirst enterprise mobility solution that allows developers to build HTML5,JavaScript and hybrid apps with a fully integrated Node.js backend-as-a-service. It is the first commercially available mobile appplatform-as-a-service that allows developers to use the same JavaScript skillsto build a mobile app client and powerful backend functionality that leveragesthe non-blocking, event-driven I/O architecture of Node.js. By building in one code base developers increase their efficiency and speed appdevelopment while cutting the costs of deploying apps for multiple mobileplatforms.
In the FeedHenry studio, developers can now build highly complex andvisually stunning mobile apps using HTML5 and JavaScript that will run asnative apps on all major smartphones and tablet devices. These apps canbe developed using any third-party JavaScript library or HTML5 UI/UX toolkitand connect through RESTful API calls to a fully integrated server-sidebackend. This server-side business and integration logic is developed in Node.jsusing Javascript. Developers can use any of the standard FeedHenry APIs forintegration, caching, storage, or encryption and are free to include otherthird party JavaScript libraries.
At build-time, the client code is pushed to a build farm where the nativebinary is created; the server-side code is staged with a single command to theFeedHenry cloud or to any public or private cloud supporting Node.js. Themobile application platform automatically synchronizes the app client with theNode.js backend and provides automatic scaling, for the entire solution as wellas built-in redundancy, security, lifecycle management and reporting.
