CloudBoost is a cloud services provider, Serverless Framework and backend as a service company based in Hyderabad, India. The company makes a number of products for software developers building mobile or web applications. CloudBoost was founded in 2014 by Nawaz Dhandala. CloudBoost's primary product is a database which provides an API that allows developers to store, query, search, and have real-time data on multiple clients.
History
CloudBoost evolved from a Parse app builder tool which helped developers to build apps on Parse by writing most of the boiler plate code. After releasing the Parse app builder tool, Nawaz found the service missed certain features. Developers were using multiple data-stores to search, store and sync application data across their users. Nawaz decided to separate database and the real-time architecture that powered it, founding CloudBoost as a separate company in December 2014.[5] CloudBoost raised $40,000 in seed funding in June, 2015 from Start-Up Chile.[6]
Services
NoSQL database
CloudBoost provides a NoSQL database and backend as a service. The service provides application developers an API that allows application data to be searched, queried, and synchronized across clients and stored on CloudBoost's cloud. The company provides client libraries that enable integration with Android, iOS, JavaScript, Java, Objective-C and Node.js applications. The database is also accessible through a REST API and bindings for several JavaScript frameworks such as AngularJS, React, Ember.js and Backbone.js. The REST API uses the Server-Sent Events protocol, which is an API for creating HTTP connections for receiving push notifications from a server. Developers using the CloudBoost database can secure their data by using the company's server-side-enforced security rules.
