Super bummed as a I have a pet project I was preparing to release that has it's back-end built on Parse. I really like their SDK's and enjoyed the built-in authentication and authorization through ACL's on the data objects. It also had a more effective query tool than my experiences w/ Firebase and I really loved the back-end, admin dashboard. It definitely had some shortcomings, especially trying to support offline or limited connection use-cases. So, I had started looking at other options. But this feels like the rug just got pulled out from under me. As an aside, there is a funny take on this "incredible journey" process cataloged by Phill Gyford at http://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/
They have a lot of material that looks really nice to help folks migrate and self-host. And they open-sourced the server and client libraries I think. But, in the end, self-hosting puts management demands back on a hobbyist like myself. Still processing all of this. Anyone else working w/Parse.com for their BaaS care to chime in on your plans moving forward? Or just join in a collective "harumph!!"?
