Baasbox DB is orientdb, which is open source: https://github.com/orientechnologies/orientdb https://github.com/orientechnologies/orientdb

  Oh wow, apologies for the misstatement. I glanced at the docs, features, and github, and didn't see any sign or mention of a DB dependency, so I assumed they had written their own. Sorry to the baasbox db team for the incorrect assumption. But it might be a good idea to make the underlying db a bit clearer, assuming I didn't miss any obvious mention of it (which is quite possible). orientdb is a fine db, indeed it's one I was thinking of when I was wondering (incorrectly) why they wrote their own. Thanks for your correction.

    Our stance is that, as an app developer, you should not care too much about the technology behind a backend. You should rather stay focused on the front end.

      so my question is why don't most mobile app developers use something like Baasbox, or spin up any REST api on their servers? What is the benefit of using proprietary platforms like Parse and Stackmob?

        My guess is just one: BaasBox is born 6mo ago :) But we are spreading the voice ...
