I don't know how you hold on to those customers without needing to build something like a Heroku.
This is a good point. One convenient feature of the Parse platform is that it's located on EC2, so developers can run their own servers on Heroku or just EC2 itself with <2ms latency to Parse if they need to run any generic code. So we can let Heroku build Heroku, and just make Parse work really well in conjunction.
I think right now we have reasonable solutions for this. We would like the solutions to be not just reasonable, but amazing. So there are a lot of other ideas we have to make this sort of development easier. We're working on it.
- olegp 15y agoHave you considered making or supporting a slimmed down open source version of Parse? That way developers could self host and extend as necessary. Having the option to self host would probably increase adoption of your core offering.
- lacker 15y agoWe're thinking about it. Some components would be easier than others to decouple from our scaling systems, so it's a tricky technical question.
