Database
What is a Database?
A database is an organized collection of information that can be stored, managed, updated, and retrieved by a software application. In mobile app development, databases can contain user accounts, products, services, bookings, orders, articles, prices, customer information, and other structured data used by the app. An app builder can provide database functionality that allows businesses to manage this information without creating a database system from scratch.
Why it matters
Databases allow mobile applications to work with structured and changing information instead of relying only on static content. When data is stored centrally, businesses can update information and make it available to users through the app. Database functionality is particularly important for mobile apps with catalogs, customer accounts, booking systems, e-commerce features, or other content that needs to be regularly added, edited, or synchronized.
Example
A company creates a mobile shopping app with a database containing product names, descriptions, images, prices, and availability. When the business updates information about a product in the database, the mobile application can display the updated data to customers without requiring the entire app to be rebuilt.
