Why we created a Backend as a Service
• We are a Team of Backend-Devs, Frontend-Devs and ProjectManagers
• We have developed several apps
• Backend has always been „pain in the ass“ that no one is willing to pay
• so we decided to make things easier

With choosing a BaaS-Provider...
...I will be locked in his systemNo. You own the data. You can export it.
...I won‘t be flexible enoughNo. You can inject custom backend logic.
... I cannot connect to my existing data No. You can import/connect your data.
... my Data will be somewhere on the world No. apiOmat is completely hosted in Germany.

Let‘s see how it works!

Example: www.citykit.de
Donnerstag, 7. März 13
CityKit
• Adresses, Offers, Coupons, Appointments around the user
• 30 Data Model Classes, csv import
• Native iOS & Android App
• PHP-Website, GWT-Dashboard
• only 2 month for planning and implementing backend and iOS-App
Donnerstag, 7. März 13
Generic vs. generated SDK
• if we would have used a generic sdk we would have implemented 30 data models 4 times
• we edited the data models on the website --> 120 classes in the sdks were generated automatically
