I think parse is great... but seriously all your data with them???... and even if they give you back your data, can we make sense of it to write our own library

I think parse is great... but seriously all your data with them???... and even if they give you back your data, can we make sense of it to write our own library? I just feel that it probably takes equal time (or may be little more) to write your own backend. Plenty of sample code out there, I wrote it in php and mysql even without any prior experience in php. And dont you have to learn parse platform to get it going in first place? then why not just write our own backend?
- Skroob 15y agoPersonally, I like that I can spin up a backend for a project without needing to worry about knowing PHP/Rails/Django/MySQL/PostgreSQL/etc. It just makes it that much easier to get a minimum product out the door. If the day comes when I need to migrate that product to something homegrown, I can do that, but it's a lot easier to start with Parse for now. As for learning its platform, there isn't much to learn, really. If you're familiar with iOS development (or Android), it's dead simple. I learned like 90% of it in an hour or two, reading through the quickstart guide and the docs.
