    Getting Started with Telerik Everlive - Your Cloud-Based Backend Service

    Imagine yourself developing a new web or hybrid mobile application. One of your first major considerations is probably going to be your application's backend data. The complexity of the backend can be overwhelming to many developers, especially those who have been solely focused on frontend development for some time now. Well today I'd like to walk you through a relatively new offering from Telerik - and that is Telerik Everlive. Telerik Everlive is your "Backend as a Service" (BaaS) which allows you to move your database into the cloud with an automatically generated RESTful service layer, file storage, user management, and notifications all bundled together. Fear the database no more, with Telerik Everlive we handle the heavy lifting for you - all you need to do is write your code!

    What is Cloud Code and Why Should You Care?

    An easy-to-use Back-end-as-a-service (BaaS) can make rapidly developing your app not only a possibility, but an enjoyable experience. A good BaaS will work for simple "CRUD-based" (or "forms-over-data") apps as well as more complicated scenarios. The trouble is that when your app outgrows the simpler scenarios, you often need "hooks" on the server side for things like validation, record transformation and more. When you're using Everlive, this is where "Cloud Code" comes in.

    Using Everlive Push Notifications Service in your native iOS app.

    Push notifications are useful for keeping users informed with timely and relevant contents. Push notifications can be sent regardless whether the app is running, inactive or in the background. Notifications can display an alert; play a distinctive sound or update badge on your app icon. In this post, I will walk through the process of enabling push notification for an app in Apple developer portal, upload the generated certificate to Everlive and finally register my device in Everlive to receive push notifications.
