or share it among multiple users. Launched more than 3 years ago, CloudKit forms the foundation for more than 40 Apple apps, including many of our most important and popular applications such as Photos, iCloud Drive, Notes, and News, as well as many third-party
apps. By using CloudKit application developers are free to focus on delivering the application while relying on CloudKit for scale, consistency, durability and security. CloudKit manages petabytes of data and handles hundreds of millions of users around the
world on a daily basis.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>
