Switching supermarkets is much, much, easier than switching backends. I'm sure lot more BaaS companies will pop up to grab former Parse customers. I'm not sure how many of those will still be around in another 5 years.
I strongly suspect there's something negative about the economics of BaaS services that's being implied by the fact that two of the most successful providers have shut down after acquisition.
- bikamonki 11y agoTrue. I oversimplified. On the other hand: maybe they were acquired to buy the tech but to shutdown the business?
- intrasight 11y agoAmazon has fully embraced BaaS. And I don't know of any AWS services they've added and then removed. I think Amazon will be the winner here. MSFT is also starting to embrace BaaS. Of course they have a less stellar history of support.
- bikamonki 11y agoTrue but they still lack a wrapped and simple to use solution like Parse. That is why I run everything on AWS except the BAAS.
