Notes de l'éditeur
- The traditional 3-tier architecture – web server, app server, database.
- Back in the days of Web 1.0, we served up web pages to browsers…
- …this required lots of code on the app server to retrieve data from the database and render it into those web pages, but very little code in the browser.
- Web 2.0 brought Ajax, so the amount of code in the browser increased as JavaScript retrieved data from the app server. Code on the app server shrank, since it was easier to return data than render a page.
- Now, websites such as Twitter use the page as a vehicle for a complete JavaScript web app that does all the retrieval and rendering of data. The back end shrinks again.
- Mobile enters the mix, and mobile apps running on the device do away with web pages altogether…
- …so you no longer need the web tier. The app server is reduced to marshalling data in and out of the database. What if the database itself spoke JSON over HTTP?
- This is the basis of the 2-tier architecture – app executing on the device interacting directly with a Database-as-a-Service. Still some code in the back-end for data validation, actions on triggers etc.
- Technology on the device is iOS or Android. I’ve heard there are other alternatives, but I rarely see them!
- A plethora of choices for the back end. These are all online services that talk JSON-over-HTTP.
- Every element of data and metadata in database.com is accessible by an HTTP operation on a URL.
- Native apps look great, perform well, but are more difficult to write than web apps. Web apps, on the other hand, can’t access device functionality such as the camera. Hybrid mobile app platforms such as PhoneGap offer a middle way – write your app in HTML/CSS/JS, but get access to device features, and package the app for distribution via the AppStore.
