- alvarosevilla95 10y agoFacebook bought it.
- helloanand 10y agofacebook shut it down
- gamache 10y agoFounded 2011, sold to Facebook for $85M in 2013, folded by Facebook in 2016 (though the software was released as open source).
- j_s 10y agoTechnically I believe the software was re-implemented as open source; the initial release didn't measure up compared to what Parse offered but the project has grown since then.
- jeron 10y agoFacebook decided it wasn't worth it to continue maintaining Parse so they shut it down and open sourced all the code. Simple as that.

- st3v3r 10y agoFacebook bought it. Parse was highly coupled to AWS at the time. They spent some 3 years trying to get it to run on Facebook's cloud, and apparently failed to do so. Facebook decided to cut their losses, and shut it down.
- csmajorfive 10y agoWe did have many technical challenges (as would be expected, really) but that wasn't why it ultimately went away.
- desireco42 10y agoParse is not that challenging that you can't reimplement it in any platform you choose, especially in 3 yrs.
