This Information Technology (IT) course introduces Backend-as-a-Service frameworks for working with identities and data across multiple devices, platforms, and applications. Students explore several options including Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and containers. The benefits, limitations, and key distinctions of different architectures are considered as well as issues of offline synchronization and compliance with industry-specific and regional regulations (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or FIPS). Students will also learn and practice development methodologies suitable for deploying applications on modern cloud platforms.
