What is HarmonyOS Cloud Development
HarmonyOS cloud development is a newly launched feature of DevEco Studio, which allows you to use one language to complete the development of client-side and cloud-side functions in one project.
The cloud-side capabilities built on AppGallery Connect Serverless eliminate the need to build and manage cloud resources and use them as needed, greatly improving the efficiency of building applications/meta-services.
- Authentication service: A safe and reliable user authentication system can be quickly built for applications.
- Cloud function: On the one hand, it focuses the development and testing objects at the function level, which can greatly simplify matters related to application development and operation and maintenance; on the other hand, through the cloud function SDK, you can easily operate cloud databases, cloud storage, etc., improving the construction of business functions. Convenience.
- Cloud database: While ensuring the availability, reliability, consistency, and security of data, it can achieve seamless synchronization of data between devices and clouds, and can help developers quickly build device-cloud and multi-device collaborative applications.
- Cloud storage: Provides scalable, maintenance-free cloud storage services that can be used by applications to upload images, audios, videos, or other user-generated content.
As our application functions become more and more abundant, the operation of many applications depends on the support of the cloud side. Compared with the traditional development model, the cloud development model has the advantages of low cost, high efficiency, and low threshold.
| Difference | Traditional development model | Cloud development model |
|---|---|---|
| development tools | The client side and the cloud side each require a set of development tools. The cloud side needs to build its own server, and the tool cost is high. | DevEco Studio is a set of development tools that can support simultaneous development on both the device side and the cloud side, without the need to build a server&#x |
