CloudKit - no server-side logic?

Question

With CloudKit, you can focus on your client-side app development and let iCloud eliminate the need to write server-side application logic. Cl

Answer 1

In some cases, we do not need server-side logic, and just storing static data can cover all the usage scenario.

In this case, it would be very helpful if there's a free accessible storage that you can store something. CloudKit provides such stuffs rather then full service platform.

Yes it is limited. Anyway can be useful for some people. For example, your case actually can be supported CloudKit. Though CloudKit is just a static storage, it support subscription. Which monitors a set of conditions and pushes the event notification to client. It's fortunate that the only background job feature supported by CloudKit is just what you need.

Anyway, if you need more, then you might need to consider full fledged servers. Usually simple web services with simple server-side code execution support are also limited.
