How Backend Complexity Slows Mobile Development

Current Challenges in Mobile App Development

  • Development teams must write custom API endpoints for each data need
  • Implementing authentication and security adds complexity
  • Creating data transformation layers requires specialized knowledge
  • Error handling and response formatting consume development time
  • Non-technical teams wait days or weeks for simple data changes

The Result: Mobile app development cycles that should take days stretch into weeks or months, with excessive resources dedicated to backend infrastructure rather than user-facing features that drive value.
