HTML5 developer tools platform PhoneGap has been integrated with Kinvey’s “Backend as a Service,” to enable developers to “save themselves the time and aggravation of building the backend ‘plumbing’ that every data-driven application requires”.

Kinvey said it offers a fully-featured, scalable cloud backend, which is scalable “from prototype to worldwide adoption or ‘chart topper’.” Pricing depends on number of users and amount of storage needed – including free options at the bottom end.

Features supported include data collections, user management, geoqueries, analytics, versioned APIs, external data integration (beta) and business logic (beta).

To integrate with PhoneGap, developers need to download the Kinvey JavaScript library for PhoneGap and “drop it into their app”.
