Parse.com 將在 January 28, 2017 結束服務

Mark 結束育嬰假以後，帶回了這個消息
Parse.com 將在 January 28, 2017 結束服務

今天一看片地哀號，不少大型的app 都是直接產用 Parse.com 這樣的劇變實在讓人很難接受，甚至還沒有付費的方案可以選擇 BaaS (Back end as a Service) 。

或許是收集的移動資料已經足夠，這個BaaS 就算收費也是一個滿大的支出。

所以，他們把結束的時間拉到 2017 ，甚至是 open source了 parse server ，希望使用者可以自己 hosts 。

Parse Server 目前提供 Backend 介接的 mongodb interface ，
目前還沒看到，Parse.com 自家使用的 MongoDB + RocksDB at Parse

大型的service 可能真的需要一段時間來想想下一步的架構了。


不過，少了 BaaS 平台，要自己 host 我想不是大家選擇使用 Parse 所想要的。
(就是因為不想 host backend 才使用 parse.com 阿)

既然這已成為事實，就期待下一個後繼者吧。
(Google 也有提供 FireBase的服務)

We have a difficult announcement to make. Beginning today we’re winding down the Parse service, and Parse will be fully retired after a year-long period ending on January 28, 2017. We’re proud that we’ve been able to help so many of you build great mobile apps, but we need to focus our resources elsewhere.
We understand that this won’t be an easy transition, and we’re working hard to make this process as easy as possible. We are committed to maintaining the backend service during the sunset period, and are providing several tools to help migrate applications to other services.
First, we’re releasing a database migration tool that lets you migrate data from your Parse app to any MongoDB database. During this migration, the Parse API will continue to operate as usual based on your new database, so this can happen without downtime. Second, we’re releasing the open source Parse Server, which lets you run most of the Parse API from your own Node.js server. Once you have your data in your own database, Parse Server lets you keep your application running without major changes in the client-side code. For more details, check out our migration guide here.
We know that many of you have come to rely on Parse, and we are striving to make this transition as straightforward as possible. We enjoyed working with each of you, and we have deep admiration for the things you’ve built. Thank you for using Parse.

Moving On

ps.
 - parse.com 最迷人的無外乎他的 Free Plan 居然提供了 20G的 database storage 。
基本上，要是超過這個方案，你大概都已經發了。
