BaasBox is a server that provides general backend services for your mobile Apps and RIAs (Rich Internet Applications). Baas stands for Backend as a Service, i.e. a set of middleware features exposed like services from a service provider. These features generally cover topics like user management, content management, mobile specific stuffs like geospatial functions, checkins, venues enumerations, and so on. The “Box” in BaasBox means that all the features are put in a standalone server, just a… box. No Application Server, no Database Server, just a JVM and nothing more. All you have to do is to download BaasBox, install it wherever you want and connect your application to the Box.
