A Study on Developing an Image Upload/Download System Using Cloud Services and Integration with an iOS Mobile Application

The study aims to explore image upload and download services, to provide readers an insight into how they are built from scratch. In the process, the paper discusses about Google Cloud Services, CDN and Docker runtime environment. It helps readers understand the importance of modularity. The paper dives deep into the architectural details of an iOS application built using the SwiftUI framework and MVVM design pattern. The readers will understand how professional mobile applications are built, emphasizing architecture. Readers will understand the difference between MVC and MVVM design pattern and Docker vs. non-Docker systems. The proposed system is also implemented, and its code is shared with readers via a public Github repository.
