A cloud database is a database that is hosted and managed using cloud infrastructure and can be accessed over the internet by applications and authorized systems. In a mobile app, a cloud database can store information such as products, services, prices, user data, bookings, articles, schedules, and other content that needs to be available across devices and kept up to date.
A cloud database allows a mobile application to work with centralized and continuously updated information instead of storing everything only on an individual device. This is especially useful for business apps in which multiple users need access to the same current data. App builders and no-code platforms can provide database functionality that allows businesses to manage app content and data without developing an entire database infrastructure from scratch.
A company creates a mobile app with a catalog of services. Information about the services, descriptions, and prices is stored in a cloud database. When the company changes a price, the updated information can be synchronized with the application so users see the current data.
