About the moving parts, I am developing a mobile app. I am starting with Swift and hopefully pick up Java for Android later on.

I expect heavy data processing at a backend database, maybe on Amazon or Google cloud. I am not sure what I need there. Maybe MySQL?

Also do I need something extra for interface between frontend and backend?

You have been very helpful. Thanks.

Yes, I totally agree with you. But I am diving in - hopefully it will be a worthwhile journey.

Thanks, that was the scenario I was afraid of.

Thanks, I just started with Raywenderlich for lack of alternative, but also for the independence. Thanks for the encouragement.
