FeedHenry, a developer of cloud-based mobile application solutions, has launched their enterprise mobility solution that allows developers to build HTML5, JavaScript and hybrid apps with a fully integrated Node.js backend-as-a-service. It is the first commercially available mobile app platform-as-a-service that allows developers to use the same JavaScript skills to build a mobile app client and powerful backend functionality that leverages the non-blocking, event-driven I/O architecture of Node.js. By building in one code base developers increase their efficiency and speed app development while cutting the costs of deploying apps for multiple mobile platforms.
In the FeedHenry studio, developers can now build highly complex and visually stunning mobile apps using HTML5 and JavaScript that will run as native apps on all major smartphones and tablet devices. These apps can be developed using any third-party JavaScript library or HTML5 UI/UX toolkit and connect through RESTful API calls to a fully integrated server-side backend. This server-side business and integration logic is developed in Node.js using Javascript. Developers can use any of the standard FeedHenry APIs for integration, caching, storage, or encryption and are free to include other third party JavaScript libraries.
At build-time, the client code is pushed to a build farm where the native binary is created; the server-side code is staged with a single command to the FeedHenry cloud or to any public or private cloud supporting Node.js. The mobile application platform automatically synchronizes the app client with the Node.js backend and provides automatic scaling, for the entire solution as well as built-in redundancy, security, lifecycle management and reporting.
FeedHenry is one of only 35 companies selected to compete in the Node Summit’s NodeJam, January 24-25, 2012 in San Francisco. FeedHenry was also named as one of the winners in Yankee Group’s “2012 Mobility Predictions: A Year of Living Dangerously”. FeedHenry’s enterprise development platform was listed as a winner alongside Antenna Systems, Pyxis and Salesforce.com’s Heroku in the category “HTML5 Will Cross the Enterprise Tipping Point.”
