18. MBaaS
vs.
BaaS
• Not
much
different
• BaaS
synonymously
used
for
MBaaS
• Also
wriEen
as
(M/m)BaaS
• Arguably
MBaaS
is
more
op'mized
towards
mobile
app
development
• MBaaS
==

• The
need
for
mobile
apps
is
exponen'ally
growing
• Mobile
app
developers
need
to
fully
concentrate
on
(mobile)
app
development
• High
scalability,
availability,
extensibility,
security
are
core
requirements
• MBaaS,
BaaS,
PaaS
-‐>
same
thing?
• MBaaS
is
about
the
developer
experience
• Final
thought;
IoT
&
BaaS
