There are going to be a lot of mobile "full stack developers" that are going to have to scramble now to find another way to avoid learning how to build a simple API server and database. I only used Parse for one small project a few years ago. At the time their scheduled tasks feature was new and I found it hilarious that there was a bug that mixed up hours and days in the scheduler. That is when the scheduled tasks a…

You'll move that line eventually. Datacenters were a hard problem to solve a decade ago. Now its (almost) trivial. Virtual clouds were a buzzword less than two years ago. Now they are huge and successful businesses. Same path for BAAS.
That's possible. But the current model of "give us money, use our code, and we'll host your data" is pretty clearly broken.
Damn, I just added Parse to a small project. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good service that handles Push notifications like Parse? I really don't want to set up my own server for this.
While I'm sure this sucks for a lot of people, I'll be honest the shutdown seems pretty fair. One year notice, detailed migration path with accompanying migration tools, and an open source release of the product itself. I didn't use parse, but this seems like a reasonable way to do it.
Separately, we developed an open-source Parse-compatible API server for Node/Express. https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server This, along with the database migration tools released earlier, allow developers a full migration path to move from Parse hosted data + API to their own infrastructure. Over the weekend, I set up a website & app on a $5 DigitalOcean box running Parse and Mongo locally.
I'm building on top of Firebase at the moment, and this is exactly the sort of thing I'm afraid of.
I'm afraid google will kill firebase too. I built some sort of mvp with firebase and I intend to port it to express/postgres.
- With Couchbase Lite, you have the full power of a Couchbase database locally on the device. You can create, update, delete, query, sync and much, much more.
- Couchbase Sync Gateway gives you everything you need to securely sync on-device Couchbase Lite with Couchbase Server in the cloud.
-- Replication -- Authentication -- Access Control -- Data Routing
- Couchbase Server is a high performance, scalable, always-on NoSQL database in the cloud. Sub-millisecond, high-throughput reads and writes give you consistent high performance. Couchbase Server is easy to scale out, and supports topology changes with no downtime.

[Firebase founder here] We're not going anywhere. We have strong backing here at Google and are continuing to make big investments in our platform. You'll see big things from us soon. What makes us different? Firebase is very complementary to Google's other product offerings. Cloud for one, as well as Angular, Polymer, GCM, etc.
Ironically enough the founder of Parse said the exact same thing two years ago in the StackMob shutdown thread: > You could just use Parse. We're not going anywhere. ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7221823 )

[Couchbase Developer Advocate] You can also look at Couchbase Mobile ( http://developer.couchbase.com/mobile ) that is an open source mobile database and provides full power of a Couchbase database locally on the device. You can create, update, delete, query, sync and much, much more. Couchbase server provides full querying capabilities using SQL-like syntax for your JSON documents.
What do you use for cloud hosting the server?
