What *is* a “platform?”
A computing platform allows you and others to accomplish the following less expensively than if they did it on their own:
Continuously gain new customers
Introduce new services
Integrate with other services (and allow them to integrate with you)
◦ in reliable, predictable ways
◦ usually via 1 or more APIs
Lions & tigers & platforms, oh my...
Social, local, mobile …& global
A smorgasbord of issues
cross platform nuances
data storage
user management and authentication,
push notifications
analytics
…and much more
Kind of like Amazon, right? Nope.
