I am trying to build native app (ios, android) using cordova , ionic framework, html5. this native app talks to my REST service, which is implemented using java/j2ee, no sql db(like mongodb).based on the request, this REST service gets data from db or calls someother external remote REST service using a java REST Client object. I would like to keep my REST service and the DB on cloud. I have started working on html, css and js code using ionic, angularjs on my local webstorm IDE on my mac. I intend to use sms, email, maps in my app.
My question is , what are the best cloud based backend as service offerings out there.. I have looked at appery.io but it does not execute java code, we can have custom javascript code on the server.do i rewrite my server logic into javascript code ? is heroku of anyhelp in my case ?
Can anybody please guide me on this ?
Take a look at backendless, it supports custom server code in Java. There is also a free plan that is more than enough to build a solid app.
