The Case for CloudKit
Read OriginalThis article examines CloudKit, Apple's remote data storage and sharing service, and its viability as a backend solution for mobile app development. It discusses survey results showing CloudKit's low popularity compared to Firebase and custom backends, then presents scenarios where CloudKit excels: when developing exclusively for Apple platforms, using CloudKit JS for web and Android integration, leveraging built-in Apple ID authentication, and benefiting from its generous free tier. The author provides practical advice for Apple developers considering CloudKit over alternatives.
