We have some very serious brands on board including Home Depot, Armani, Food Network, Green Bay Packers, Discovery Channel, Cadillac, and more. The folks building these apps don't want to be working on caching policies. They want to make beautiful, engaging applications. They stick with us because it's just easier.
- freehunter 14y agoI can completely understand the decision to use Parse. On the flip side of what the parent commented, big players who only have a comparatively limited presence in the mobile world don't always want to have to hire a full team just to implement their one or two simple apps. Conversely, a small player might not have the resources to hire a full team, or might not have the know-how or time to implement it themselves. A team that is deeply invested in mobile might want to engineer their own solution. If you're a mobile-only company or even a mobile-first company, I would expect you to have a full backend team. Otherwise, contracting out the bit you don't have resources for just makes sense. That's where I see Parse sitting in the world, and with the client list you mentioned, it seems to fit perfectly. I wouldn't expect Home Depot to have a complete mobile team.
