Let us handle the complicated backend while you focus on your application
LeanEngine is an open source project aiming at making the development of cloud-enabled mobile applications really simple, fast and fun. It consists of a pre-configured Google App Engine server and client libraries for mobile clients. It lets you focus on developing your mobile app while it handles all the boring and complicated stuff. Stuff like:
All this you can achieve with using LeanEngine libraries and a few lines of code on your clients. Not only that. Because it runs on your own instance of App Engine you keep total control of the data.
LeanEntity catEntity = LeanEntity.init("cat");
catEntity.put("name", "Mookie");
catEntity.save();
LeanQuery query = new LeanQuery("cat");
query.addFilter("age", LeanQuery.FilterOperator.GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL, 2);
query.addSort("age", LeanQuery.SortDirection.ASCENDING);
LeanEntity[] result = new LeanEntity[0];
try {
result = query.fetch();
} catch (LeanException e) {
// alert user something went wrong
return;
}
try {
LeanEntity.delete("cat", entitiyID);
} catch (LeanException e) {
// alert user something went wrong
return;
}
There are two parts of LeanEngine - server and client(s).
Server part runs on Google App Engine. The good news is you really don't need to do any development on the server part. We have included all the functionality we think you might need. The code is open source and very well documented, so in case you do need some special feature, you can add it yourself. Or ask for our help if you don't feel comfortable messing with it yourself.
All you need to do on the client side is to include the LeanEngine library in your project and you
are ready to go.
To make things even simpler we provide a sample project to get you started as fast as possible. The
documentation includes example code for most common tasks.
Here you can get the LeanEngine Server. To run it you must also have the Google App Engine SDK.

Here you will find client libraries and an example Android project. For a real fast and painless start we recommend you start with the example app.
