What Wolfram Cloud is
Wolfram Cloud combines browser-based notebooks with Wolfram Language, providing an environment for computation, document authoring, interactive programming, and programmable cloud operations. The language includes built-in algorithms, local parallelization, and options for scaling computation. Programs can also use data from the Wolfram Knowledgebase for calculations. Users can deploy Wolfram Language programs as web APIs, scheduled or on-demand programs, custom forms, mobile apps, and interactive reports. The language connects to databases, programs, APIs, other languages, and devices. Cloud notebooks run in a browser-based IDE, while data, documents, and programs are stored as cloud objects with permissions manageable through Wolfram Language. Wolfram says deployed APIs and Cloud Data Drop support SSL for data transfer; permanent databins and files can use private permissions requiring cloud authorization. Cloud Basic is free for non-organizational use and includes 200 MB of storage and 5,000 Cloud Credits per month. Files, deployments, and APIs expire after 60 days, and the plan does not permit organizational uses such as teaching courses or commercial product development. Mobile apps are available free for iOS and Android.
Good
