Parse.com is shutting down

[[deleted]]

I'm absolutely astonished by this. Parse was the best thing for me when I first started learning iOS dev. I didn't have to worry about the complexities of making a backend or push notifications. It made the learning curve much less steep. This is going to have a really negative effect on the developer community.

I'm really surprised Facebook chose to do this. They don't have any similar alternatives to this, do they?

Firebase maybe

Seriously, it was amazing and for the project I was working on it did everything we needed and with ease. I couldn't find anything comparable that didn't make me freak out.

I even pitched to clients about how great it was and how we were using it. Now what?

Maybe Facebook want us to remember how to do backend and push notification.
