Experimental Study of BaaS, Its Implementation Methods and Advantages and Challenges

Abstract

BaaS is the facility to provide backend as a service by various vendors to the companies. The developers will outsource the backend jobs to a private or public vendor which will help them to provide all the backend services using cloud technique at a reasonable cost. The cost will depend upon the types and number of backend services required by the organisation. It can be modified at any point of time and as a result of this the costing will also change. By using the BaaS provided by the vendor, the developers can spend and utilise their time at the front-end coding of applications of the system. In this way efficient software and system can be developed which will have latest techniques and gives efficient performance. The paper will explain the characteristics of backend as a service and how it is beneficial for the organisations. There are certain challenges while shifting the existing backend services to the public cloud services provided by the vendor which will be discussed in this paper.
