I'm not sure I'd use Parse as a point of reference for much of anything, especially not as a shining beacon of software engineering. After the 4-5 hour outage a few months ago which tanked more than one person's app launch, and their amusing attempts at providing "workarounds" (e.g. see this: https://www.parse.com/questions/unique-fields--2 https://www.parse.com/questions/unique-fields--2 ) that will obviously not work, I'm just going to pass on this one.
