Developing & Testing Mobile Apps on AWS

Developing & Testing Mobile Apps on AWS

October 25th, 2016

In this session we will discuss how you can leverage the new cross-platform AWS Mobile Services to build a highly scalable and reliable mobile app, powered by the AWS Cloud. We will explore core functionality like authentication and authorization of users, data synchronization, backend infrastructure without the need to manage servers, understanding your user behavior, engaging your users and bringing your users back to your app. Improve the quality of your iOS, Android, and web applications by testing them against real smartphones and tablets in the AWS Cloud. Run tests across a large selection of physical devices in parallel from various manufacturers with varying hardware, OS versions and form factors. Unlike emulators, physical devices provide a more accurate understanding of how users interact with your app, by taking into account factors such as memory, CPU usage, location, and modifications done by manufactures and carriers to the firmware and software. No matter if you are building the next great social app, or a front-office enterprise mobile app, this session will discuss best practices and reference architectures for building reliable and scalable mobile apps.
