APICloud builds an ecosystem to accelerate mobile development

APICloud 2015 product launch conference was successfully concluded in Beijing, announcing the official launch of APICloud products and the official launch of its first ecological product "Module Store". APICloud is positioned as a PaaS platform, which accelerates the development of mobile applications through "cloud integration" and integrates a large number of BaaS services. APICloud and many B2D developer service providers hope to reduce the capital cost of developers through professional services, so that developers can focus more on products and technical services themselves.

APICloud has currently gathered a large number of third-party Internet services. Industry leaders have also expressed their views on the official release of APICloud's "Module Store" and jointly discussed the current status and future of aggregated development platform services and the mobile ecosystem.

Testin Cloud Testing CEO Wang Jun: The emergence of APICloud will give birth to an engine technology in China that may influence the world.

Testin Cloud Testing is the world's largest real-device and user cloud testing platform for mobile games and applications. It currently has more than a thousand different models of mobile phones, tablets, smart TVs and OTT terminals, and provides services to more than 330,000 domestic and foreign mobile game and application developers. It has conducted more than 78 million tests in total and has established close service, cooperation and communication relationships with major global mobile chip suppliers such as IBM, Microsoft, Google, Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, Intel, ARM, Qualcomm, Imagination, and mainstream terminal providers such as Lenovo, OPPO, and Samsung.

Wang Jun, CEO of Testin Cloud Testing, said that he was very pleased that APICloud appeared in China. In the United States, there are Appcelerator and PhoneGap, but in China, there are relatively few things that can be called standards. I personally think that the emergence of APICloud is just in time. At present, China lacks an application engine that allows developers to deliver things quickly and in accordance with standards. The reason is that there is no standard for applications. This is the biggest concern of this industry and also the biggest pain we have discovered in our tests. The emergence of APICloud will give birth to an engine technology in China that may affect the world.

The most difficult thing for APICloud is to integrate all the companies together. This is the most difficult thing. We often think of things and do them, which is difficult for entrepreneurs to do. Later, we will have a plug-in for mobile application performance management to help developers find problems with users during the application process. We found that it was still not enough. We recently released a retest, and there are 100,000 quality experts to help you solve quality problems. We have been a company for three years, and we are very focused on testing only this one item, but we think we can't do it ourselves. Why? Sometimes the service can't reach your home, and we have to do it at your site. If it can be done together like an engine, for developers, it is as convenient as turning on the faucet at home to drink water, opening the window to let in fresh air, and turning on the air conditioner to have cold air. From this point of view, it is remarkable.

RongCloud CTO Yang Pan: China's developer ecosystem needs to be driven by commercial companies like APICloud

RongCloud is the first professional instant messaging cloud service provider in China, focusing on providing instant messaging basic capabilities and cloud services for Internet and mobile Internet developers. CTO Yang Pan said that the SDK provided by RongCloud is native, which will cause great difficulties in providing developer services based on the current level of the entire Chinese developer industry and many technical problems of the native platform. Yang Pan talked about how the cooperation with APICloud can expand the scope of our entire market coverage and products, and the number of developers that can be served, and even increase by an order of magnitude. Yang Pan himself has been looking forward to the APICloud conference for a long time and is very much looking forward to future cooperation with APICloud.

In addition, Yang Pan also mentioned that the "Module Store" released by APICloud is mainly about the mobile ecosystem. At present, China has not yet formed a developer ecosystem, so the Chinese developer ecosystem needs to be driven by commercial companies like APICloud. Only when commercial companies drive China can this thing persist. APICloud's release of this product is a very good example for the entire industry.

***, Yang Pan also revealed a small detail, about two months after the official launch of the two platforms, many developers on the developer feedback and communication platform asked us every week when RongCloud would be connected to the APICloud platform. The Shuangshou team was very busy, and it was not until recently that the product was officially released. This thing must be made, and it is also an explanation to our customers.

Gao Duo, Vice President of TalkingData: I am very happy to see that APICloud has created a platform that aggregates various third-party services.

TalkingData is a startup company focusing on comprehensive data services for mobile Internet. It currently has multiple data service product lines, ranging from basic data statistics to in-depth data analysis and mining, and can provide mobile Internet companies with a full range of big data solutions. Vice President Gao Duo mentioned that when providing developers with an overall solution, there is a problem. Many developers not only have data needs, but also testing needs and instant messaging needs. However, we focus on data and are very happy to see that this platform has been made in advance by APICloud. I believe this is a blessing for developers and something worth celebrating.

Meiqia CEO Huang Haibo: APICloud platform provides an integrated service for developers and entrepreneurs

Meiqia is a WebApp based on HTML5 technology. It runs on smartphone browsers and is a customer service tool that enables mobile phone users and companies to communicate at any time. Meiqia is the first third-party service provider to access the APICloud platform. CEO Huang Haibo believes that a very good product is not only focused on doing its own thing, but also cooperates with better products with an open mind to provide very good services to developers. He believes that APICloud has set a very good example for everyone. The tools and services that we third-party service providers can provide to entrepreneurs are very professional and are the best practical solutions. We should do it with an open mind and provide developers and entrepreneurs with an integrated service through the APICloud platform.

Liu Wen, Vice President of Getui: APICloud brings together various B2D service providers, saving costs and time for developers and accelerating mobile application development.

Getui is the most professional third-party message push technology service provider in China. Together with B2D developer service providers, it provides professional services to developers to solve their needs. Vice President Liu Wen said that at first Getui was doing the same thing as WeChat, IM. When they reached 17 million users in China, WeChat had only reached 200 million and died. The company decided to hire more than 100 people to specialize in push technology. At present, it has indeed achieved some results. As of January this year, the total number of users connected to Getui has exceeded 3 billion, covering 700 million independent terminals. It has currently provided efficient technical services to 120,000 developers and 150,000 applications.

Liu Wen also mentioned that he highly recognized the APICloud platform. When developers develop apps, they not only use push notifications, but also testing or security. APICloud brings together various B2D service providers, saving developers costs and time and accelerating mobile application development.

***, APICloud CTO and founder Zou Da hopes to enable more external developers to be able to write apps. Writing apps is inseparable from public services. APICloud has concentrated all mainstream cloud services on the APICloud platform and provided very standard interfaces for developers to use very conveniently.

The goal of APICloud is to aggregate the services of the open platform, build a complete ecosystem for application demanders, developers, service providers and the complete platform system, and help developers quickly develop applications. I believe that as long as we all work together, we will be able to provide better services for developers.
