  When FB/Twitter/whoever dropped it, they open sourced the platform completely — they just weren’t offering managed hosting anymore, and they weren’t maintaining it. This looks like a maintenance effort by the community that has formalized itself

    They have developed a robust release cadence; it is for real and used broadly in production. https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/releases

  In some ways it was born when that happened :-). I keep meaning to give it a go self-hosted, but I have this horrible feeling it needs MongoDB, but I should check that again. I tried it when Buddy hosted it for free and its quite nice. I prefer it to Firebase because it felt like the API was simpler and more discoverable. I think the fact that no company is "pushing it along" means it stays simple.
