Building apps with the Salesforce API | Appery.io Docs
Comments
Just wanted to let you know about my struggles with choosing a backend service for my apps. The main problem I’ve encountered was probably the most obvious one, it is the lack of flexibility, which results in longer implementation times of the non-standard features. You save time for most features, but you have to invest extra efforts in some minor features, I started with Built.io, but it simply lacks sufficient tutorials or sample code for what I needed to do. This makes it difficult to implement some more advanced features without the proper direction. Then, I switched to Appcelerator. It has so many issues with the UI that I couldn’t even start, so I also tried Appery, since I thought I can probably do most things as it uses JavaScript and APIs, but it was not like that, I had to code pretty much everything, since there were a lot of limitations involved I found this frustrating. My last try was Backendless, even though it’s a complex system, the docs are pretty straightforward and I asked support for some help and they are fast to respond, I started with a free account to try and it’s not bad at all compared to others solutions I tried. Will stick to it as of right now, I think.
Interesting documentation about building apps using the Appery tool.
