Hey Andrew, Here are a few tidbits about the LiveCloud stack: • LiveCloud (LiveCode native API) • Private REST API (Apache, PHP) • CassiaDB (proprietary database server written in LiveCode) The LiveCloud API calls are currently blocking. LiveCloud is a web service that does not require a socket connection. Feel free to send me a message if you have any additional questions.
