*Abstract*

In this talk, we will describe Apple iCloud and give a detailed overview of
its core infrastructure called CloudKit. CloudKit is Apple's cloud backend
service and application development framework that provides
strongly-consistent storage for structured data and makes it easy to
synchronize data across user devices 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.
