  Appcelerator Cloud Services (ACS) asInstant Mobile Backend
• 3.
  The Good • Easy to use • Cross Platform (REST Api based) • Predefined object models • Custom Objects and Fields • No Server Code Needed
• 4.
  What’s Missing • Custom Code • Web Hosting • Support of Custom URLs • Can have extra overhead with the network and battery consumption
• 5.
  Introducing Custom Cloud Services (Node.ACS)
• 6.
  Node.js + ACS • Complete Solution to your Mobile Backend • JavaScript for both Client and Server • Fully Integrated with ACS JS
• 7.
  Node.js in aNutshell • Use JavaScript to write Web Servers • Based on Google’s V8 Engine • Event-driven/None-blocking IO • Lightweight and efficient • More at http://nodejs.org
• 8.
  Why Node.js • Performance and Scalability • Easy to Integrate Network Components • JavaScript
• 9.
  Node.ACS Architecture

  ACS Network Layer ACS

  The Development Flow Create a app Test Locally Publish to Node.ACS Cloud Unpublish Set Custom Cname Ex. http://www.yourapp.com
• 12.
  Multiple Versions your app Device (v1) V1 Device (v2) V2 V3 Device (v3) Latest

  Demo and Sample Code
• 14.
  Web Server Sample web server to display your app data stored in ACS
• 15.
  What’s wrong? var user= { session:"", }; api.login = function(req, res) { if(user.session === ""){ ACS.Users.login({login: req.body.un,password: req.body.pw}, function(e) { if(e.success && e.success === true){ user.session = e.meta.session_id; }else{ res.redirect(version+'/index?msg='+e.message); } }, req, res); }else{ res.redirect(version+'/show'); } }

  Websocket A group chat app based on websocket
• 17.
  Group Chat Server Code websocket.message= function(data, socket) { socket.broadcast.emit('message', data); }; Client Code // Received a message iosocket.on('message', function(message) { // Display the message }); // User types a message $('#outgoingChatMessage').keypress(function(event) { iosocket.emit('message', $('#outgoingChatMessage').val()); }

  Roadmap
• 19.
  What’s in Preview • One free Node.js Worker/app • 100M Free disk space/app • Unlimited API calls
• 20.
  Coming Soon • Background job workers • Node.js Monitoring • More 3rd party services integrations • Web Console • Flexible free tier • Auto sleep and reactivation
• 21.
