So we know there is a Go version somewhere I wonder why they didn't opensource this instead of rewriting everything to nodejs...

- bdcravens 10y agoAssuming this is true, probably due to the fact that most apps using Parse are already in Javascript.
- gfosco 10y agoThe backend for running half a million apps doesn't look anything like the backend for running a single app. Open-sourcing the actual Parse stack was not an option, and no one would've put in the effort to actually run the dozens of components involved. I started from scratch because that was the only way.
- HectorRamos 10y agoThe hosted parse.com service is meant to support hundreds of thousands of apps. It was not really meant to be self-hosted by individual developers serving a couple of applications.
