What is the backend for mobile applications doing now?

Question

Mobile development

Greetings.
Now I’m heavily involved in mobile development, but I’ve come across the fact that very often interaction between the mobile application and the server part is required, and in addition, web muzzles are often needed for application settings.
I usually developed the web in php using zend frameword 1
Now I'm thinking of writing everything in zend framework2 - both api and web management for applications
Or maybe there is something simpler? preferably in php

Answer 1

For example, there are a large number of projects like Youtube and Drobox that are written in Python.
Do you have any estimates on possible loads on the server part?

Answer 2

It seems to me that you can write in almost any language (at least in objective c). The main thing is that JSON or XML is formed if you work with REST.

Answer 3

You can use Parse.com. Accordingly Cloud Code for custom logic.
Pros:
- Fast integration
- A huge amount of useful functionality out of the box
- Lots of examples
- Docks in Russian/English
Cons:
- You will have to pay for heavy traffic - You
won't be able to make a heavily loaded messenger
If you want to focus on a mobile application, and not worry about the backend I advise you to use this option.

Answer 4

I agree with DevMan.
For example, I use Yii2. It has ready-made tools for REST.

Answer 5

it would be logical to use the technology that you use for the application. For Android - Java, for Windows - Sea Sharp.
Although there is no fundamental difference.

Answer 6

Try Scorocode , the evolving counterpart to the defunct Parse.com platform.
