Facilitating Efficient Application Development

As enterprise digitalization accelerates, an increasing number of applications must be built quickly to respond to market demands. Serverless is the leading computing paradigm for application ecosystems, enabling developers to focus on business logic in order to achieve leapfrog productivity improvement, and helping to reduce costs and increase efficiency in application development owing to its maintenance-free, low-cost, fast go-live and cross-platform advantages. It has become a cutting-edge technology and strategic direction that major vendors are vying for.

Based on Serverless, HUAWEI AppGallery Connect offers full life cycle services for mobile applications through a management console, cross-end SDK, and Rest API. As of September 30, 2022, HUAWEI AppGallery Connect offered a total of 123 services in China and 86 services abroad.

The five major construction services of Serverless, including authentication service, cloud function, cloud database, cloud storage, and cloud hosting, support elastic scalability, and have characteristics such as end-cloud collaboration, data security, high performance, and low cost. Serverless, which greatly increases the productivity of application development, has provided the most promising direction for the development of cloud computing technology, and will undoubtedly become the future development model in an intelligent and digital society.
