Ok, but Parse was opensourced, so you could basically just run your app on that, or am I missing something? If you wanted to use cloud offering, I'm sure you could pay someone to take care of it for you. Are you worried about future development?
Other than that, there really are no guarantees. Project leads move on, companies close and get acquired, projects get replaced... I had to develop for 3 different google cloud messaging platforms for the same app, and I don't even consider myself Android developer. Such is life.
- azinman2 10y agoWhat parse open sourced is not what they were running on their backend. It also now doesn't come with devops, new features, etc.
- amenod 10y agoWasn't it? I didn't use them, but their shutdown notice [0] reads like they opensourced whatever is needed to keep client apps running. I agree it sucks though. The code gives you more time, but since it's not maintained and actively developed anymore you still need to migrate to another platform eventually.

- azinman2 10y agoThey gave you something equivalent to a single server solution. So for simple apps it's fine, but if you have a complicated app that needs a lot of distributed networking to handle the load then good luck. Don't forget you also need to migrate all your code, host your own servers, handle downtime, etc.
