Hi, I built a app that includes a small database of a few thousand rows. All it does is display a few columns based on simiple query searches that I enter inside a text box at the top of the apps window. The bottom portion of the window displays the results. What is needed for me to make this a cloud based app? I don't want to put the app on the cloud. I only want to put the database (sqlite) table onto the cloud and then have my app access it through the cloud.
A possible solution is to put the database in Google DataStore or Apple CloudKit and use the components from TMS Cloud Pack to connect to these tables.
Alternatively, you can use TMS XData or TMS RemoteDB when self-hosting the database as the former creates a REST (JSON/HTTP based) front end for the database, the latter a remote dataset connection to a DB on your server. Either TMS XData or TMS RemoteDB are in this case the parts that offer the HTTP based interface to these databases.
Hi John,
Well, my comments stay the same. Actually your situation confirms that there is no "put in cloud" stuff. You really have to think about what are your exact needs. Following a hype word just because doesn't help. Why do you need to put it in the cloud? Backup? Online access to data? Multi-user? Single user? Do you have control over the server? Do you want to manage your own server? Do you want to use an existing server and pay per month?
