Sashido is a solid alternative for a quick and easy implementation for those who need something similar to Parse.com style services
Is Sashido using the parse server for their army of HN spam accounts?

I was wondering if you have a public policy in place which outlines what would happen in the event of a Parse-like shutdown or other end-of-company-life event occurring? I ask in the hopes that it won't be taken as too negative a question but your company is VC-backed in the database space and we've lost a few too many of those this last year.
if you run a company or product, it's on you to make sure your data is recoverable and your product is fixable in the event of an outage. expecting a vendor to tell you exactly how they're going to fold is something they can surely dream up and send to you so you feel better about the nature of the universe, but something you shouldn't really rely on. in other words, assume the worst will happen, despite assurances o…
I think you should try https://www.sashido.io . Please share your feedback afterward.
In the beginning I started out trying to host my own Parse servers, since I really liked the concept of Parse as Open Source as well. But running it yourself ruined the whole benefit of Parse.com. As a startup it is not my core business to run a mobile backend a first, but to create an awesome user experience in the mobile app.
Sashido's pricing model is also clearer than Parse.com's, charging per request instead of request/sec. Yu also HAVE to pay at least $4.95 that makes it less likely for them to shutdown due to lack of revenue.
I can really recommend sashabdo! Also if you've not been using Parse.com.

I have created a few apps using Parse.com, one of them successful enough to take the additional time/cost hit to migrate and host myself using the Parse-Server project. The open source project is great and I appreciate the effort that went into making sure we didn't all get (totally) screwed. Would I use Parse-Server for a new project? Probably not. The state of the BaaS options out there has changed/improved signifi…
Which BaaS options are recommended now?
Firebase Back4app Backendless
I personally believe in Open Source, so I think everybody who want to build mobile app with backend today should use Parse Server. It's open source, no shutdown threat and will become a standard. This is in my opinion and that's why we've build www.SashiDo.io

In this instance, it was exactly what I was hoping for.

Please don't call out other HN members as shills or spam accounts. If you suspect that such activity is going on, do contact the mods via the Contact link in the footer. They actively respond to issues like this.
If you could point me to wherever it says don't ask others about their obvious brigading tactics I'll gladly adjust my tone, thanks.
