BaaS(Backends-as-a-Service) and PaaS(Platforms-as-a-Service) are not just for hipsters anymore. 2013 saw many people building their own PaaS like Heroku, Cloudfoundry or BaaS like Parse, Kinvey.
However, many companies and open-source projects only focus on the advantages of building your own *aaS and the advantages of their own solution. Do we really know what works and what should be considered when building such system? Many people do not know whether they should build a PaaS or BaaS, how they should build it, or even if they should build one at all.
Drawing from our experience building both a production BaaS, serving hundreds of millions of requests every month at Korea Telecom, we will explain some of the lessons we learned building large application platforms.
Join us if you are interested in learning more about how to build your own BaaS. The answers may surprise you!
