I think this is the important bit from this article. However, I have been working on a way to avoid being locked in to Parse, i.e. still use the Parse SDK (ViewControllers, PFObject, etc) but build in a kill switch to have the Parse SDK suddenly communicate with one’s own servers instead of Parse’s. Then to migrate out of Parse all one would need to do would be to build an API server endpoint that quacks like Parse. This would be a much less daunting task than getting every user to upgrade to a new app binary that didn’t use Parse. I thought of the name Parseport, i.e. leave when you want.
