Oracle Mobile Cloud Service provides tools for mobile development including pre-built services for push notifications, data storage, user management and offline data access. It allows developers to create and expose new APIs and has integrated security and analytics capabilities. The platform enables developers to build APIs using JavaScript and Node.js, organize APIs into mobile backends, and empower service developers with an API designer tool.

Oracle Mobile Cloud Service provides the tools you need to
develop a comprehensive strategy for mobile development and
delivery
Access Common Services
As the mobile market has matured, it’s become clear that many activities need to be pushed to
the server for maximum efficiency—you simply can’t solve all problems in the client code.
Instead, you need mobile-specific services that accelerate development and make it easy to
create compelling mobile apps. Oracle Mobile Cloud Service provides these services, each of
which expose APIs that mobile app developers can call directly from their client apps, using
REST calls or the client SDKs.
Storage
Stores data in a collection that can be accessed by any mobile app. Gets the data off the client
and onto the server where it belongs.
User Management
Simplifies self-registration and login procedures for the mobile app developer.
Push Notifications
Adds immediacy to your mobile apps by communicating with your users when a significant
event occurs.
Data Offline
Enables mobile apps to cache data for offline access.
Custom APIs
You not only get the out-of-the-box services that every mobile app requires, but also the
ability to define and implement new enterprise-ready APIs quickly and cleanly. What’s more,
all API calls from your mobile client applications are made via uniform REST calls, thus
creating a cohesive development environment that’s easy to control and maintain.
Analytics – Keep Tabs on Your Apps
Use Oracle Mobile Cloud Service Analytics to gain insight into how (and how often)
customers use applications at any given time. The data that is gathered and presented by
Oracle Mobile Cloud Service Analytics enables you to see an application’s adoption rate, and
find out which functions are utilized the most—or the least.
Secure Your Apps
In Oracle Mobile Cloud Service, enterprise-grade, end-to-end security is built right in. Oracle
Mobile Cloud Service uses the OAuth and Basic Auth security mechanisms for authentication.
It all starts at the mobile backend, where users and client applications authenticate with their
security credentials. From there, you can use mobile user management APIs to define user
realms and roles, and then configure role-based access to API endpoints within the backend
(for example, you can decide which roles are allowed to GET or POST.)
