I have to create an app via IBM Cloud, and the amount of information in IBM Cloud is a bit overwhelming for a beginner. I have two questions:

1) With respect to creating apps, is IBM Cloud just a server where you can host the app?

2) Can I do this with React Native?

As a beginner, you can get started here and move to the next steps based on your use-case/idea

  1. IBM Cloud is much more than just a server to host your application. IBM Cloud helps you start building your apps using AI, IoT, data and mobile services.

    IBM® Cloud® is an open-standards, cloud platform that provides both Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) capabilities for building, running, and managing applications. With IBM Cloud, developers can focus on building excellent user experiences with flexible compute options, choice of DevOps tooling, and a powerful set of IBM and third-party APIs and services.

    To learn more about what IBM Cloud offers, enrol and complete this course on Cognitiveclass

    For beginners, there are app development starter-kits that automatically generate code and also create a new service and add it to your app. You can then deploy the app to various PaaS providers based on your requirement. There is a MERN starter-kit if you are looking for a ReactJS app.

  2. There are code-patterns to help you Build a cross-platform mobile app using React Native. If you are looking at adding mobile push notifications to your React Native app follow this post
