Abstract

Staying competitive in today's application economy is all

about speed. But speed without quality is a losing battle.

Developer solutions must simplify the complexity of

creating a great UX by providing mobile security,

interactivity and backend integration with developer-

friendly interfaces and APIs. During this session, Scott

Morrison, Distinguished Engineer, CA Technologies, and

Leif Bildoy, Sr. Product Manager, CA Technologies, will

walk through a common set of mobile app services,

exposed as SDKs and open APIs, to make it simpler to

create mobile apps that keep people coming back.

THE MOBILE CHALLENGE1


We love our apps


But how many are enterprise apps?


Why is mobile app development so productive?


While enterprise

development is so slow?


In 2016, nothing will be more

important than accelerating app development


Mobile SDKs and open APIs…


App Development Challenges Getting more complex…

Traditional app

Target audience

(B2E vs B2B vs B2C)

Platform fragmentation

Externalizing enterprise data

Modern app

Multi-device universe extended

into IoT

Collaboration

Reactiveness

UX spans every touch point


Introducing: CA Mobile App ServicesHigh-value services for apps..

Storage

Users & Groups

Transport

Pub/Sub Transport• MQTT messaging framework with subscription

management• User-2-User messaging• Integration with OIDC, OAuth client framework

User & Group Management• User & Group management through SCIM 2.0 connector• Ad-hoc groups• Virtual groups

Data storage • Cloud storage APIs• On-device encryptionSmartSDKs


Use Cases

- Applications that handle confidential data- Analytics to drive smarter apps- Applications that share data and sessions across devices- Personalization of app for accessible from any device

SDKs APIs

- Address Book- Collaborative Applications- Onboarding Application- Ad-Hoc groups for social apps

- Messaging to users (chat application)- Messaging to groups- Messaging based on conditions- Collaborative applications

Consumption of IoT data with notifications, observing, getting notified and reacting:- Smart homes- Healthcare application- Travel & Hospitality- Retail - Automotive


Mobile App Services is a set of common services exposed as Open Source SDKs and open APIs

Data APIs and Reactive Programming


1990s: Client/Server Computing2 Tier App. VB Thick clients + SQL direct to database

Executable Client(eg: VB .exe)

LANDatabase

(eg: SQLserver)

SQL(JDBC/ODBC)

Common Query Protocol


2000s: Browser-based AppsMulti-tiered Architectures, HTML + PHP + SQL

Web Browser(eg: Firefox)

InternetWeb/App Server

(Apache/Tomcat/PHP))

FirewallDatabase

(eg: MySQL)

HTTP/HTMLSQL

Common Execution Environment


2010s: Multi Channel Apps – New Challenges

Mobile Apps,Rich Browser Apps

Internet App ServersFirewall Data Source

Clients are:• Diverse (multiple devices)• View and Controller• Native, HTML 5


2010s: Multi Channel Apps – New Challenges



Data Sources are:• Diverse (SQL, NoSQL)• Multiple query languages• Different persistence

models


Should You Do This?



SQL or NoSQL Query Language

Absolutely not! This is too unconstrained


2010s: API-based AppsMultiple Channels, API+Java Servers

InternetWeb/App Server(eg: IIS, Tomcat)

Business Logic


Enforce

Business policies using reactive rule sets

As simple as writing a spreadsheet.

Up to 40x less code

Create

Instant generation of RESTful APIs from a broad range of data sources

10x faster than writing code

Integrate

Data from both SQL and NoSQL data sources

Use JavaScript to simplify integration and add business logic

Introducing: CA Live API CreatorRapid creation of Enterprise-class, Data APIs


Benefits of Automated API Creation Compared to Manual

Accelerate application development with 10X quicker time-to-market

through point-and-click API creation

Represent application logic using 40X more concise rule definition

Increase quality and reduce fragility of hand-coded logic

Weave security into the application with fine-grained access control over

databases, tables, rows, columns, fields and operations

Prepare for big data exposure, API monetization or microservices

architecture scenarios

Reactive Logic: Business Policies using Rules

This == 500 lines of code● Highly Agile● Business User Readable

○ Like Cocktail Napkin Spec● JavaScript

○ Extend rules○ Invoke existing logic


Reactive Logic: Forms or JavaScript

Declarative RulesLogic as a Service…

● No Code● No Compile● No Deploy


Reactive Logic: Security using Rules

Usually in the app… at considerable effort
