> \”These back-end services are really helping developers develop their code quicker, knowing that there are going to be less bugs, and less issues,\” said Stephen Feloney, director of product management at Appcelerator, provider of Appcelerator Cloud Services, a BaaS solution. \”Because they have those well-defined services already developed, already time-tested, it makes development much easier.\”
> The BaaS approach is also said to address the looming issue of vendor lock-in.
