Cloud Computing-Based API Design and Implementation for Hening Mobile Application

The use of mobile applications continues to grow rapidly in the current digital era. However, mobile applications often face obstacles related to limited device resources, especially in terms of data processing and storage. Apart from that, conventional infrastructure design to build an application also requires a lot of money and time. To overcome this problem, this research aims to design and implement a Cloud Computing-based API in a mobile application called Hening. The API used in the Hening application is a programming interface that allows mobile applications to access and utilize the power of Cloud Computing. By using the Express.js framework, this API can perform several functions and move the burden of data processing and storage from Cloud SQL to Cloud Computing, thereby reducing the load on mobile devices and increasing the efficiency of resource use. The implementation of the Hening API is carried out by utilizing Paas (Platform as a Service) technology. The author chose this technology because by using PaaS, developers do not need to build and maintain their own infrastructure, such as network services, so developers can focus more on developing application features, testing and operations.
