Advanced user of ParseWe really enjoyed the ability to build small middleware solutions with Parse. It came with everyhting you needed: User management, database, SSL hosting, different client SDKs. We're sad to see it go
Parse was never production level reliable. We could only use it for scenarios that we'ren't business critical.
I obviously also dislike Facebook's decision to shut it down.
You shouldn't use it, as it's shutting down. There's no real way to become a new user of Parse. The current way would be to deploy Parse server on your own infrastructure, as it's been open-sourced. This also means that there are a few additional considerations here:
1) Does open source Parse server support all your use cases (i.e. there is no built-in job framework anymore).
2) what solution do you use to manage your Parse apps (Parse Dashboard has been open-sourced to, but is a separate prodcut).
3) Where do you want to host ist. Parse suggests a number of cloud based hosters, we're currently going with Heroku. We've also tried running on Digital Ocean and think about trying to run on Azure.
We could deploy custom software solutions at a much faster time to market. It was particularly useful to write custom middlewares that would move data based on webhooks from one system to another.
