Parse Announces Parse Hosting
Parse may be a company you’ve never heard of, or it may be a company you’ve just recently heard of (likely because of its recent acquisition by Facebook). With the acquisition having just happened less than 2 weeks ago the company shows no signs of slowing down with its product solutions. The newest being: Parse Hosting.
Parse is said to simplify the process of mobile app development by providing “mobile backend-as-a-service.” (MBAAS). Basically, the company handles the server side of things so developers can focus on the user experience and design. Additionally, mobile developers that need a web presence can now host that content through Parse Hosting.
CEO Ilya Sukhar said in an interview with VentureBeat,
“Combined with our JavaScript SDK and Cloud Code, developers can now host their entire web presence on Parse and there is no need for a third party to host the static assets like HTML, JavaScript, or CSS,”
“We always dog-food our own platform and found it annoying that we had to use another party to host the web component even though the heavy lifting was done by Parse. Externally, we heard the same thing time and time again from our customers across the spectrum of size and use case.”
Long story short..
Parse could very well be your one-stop-shop for all your back-end and online needs giving you the time freedom to focus on what matters. The product, experience, and story of your company.
Sukhar went on to say that Parse will continue to exist and innovate, and Parse Hosting builds off the momentum from the acquisition.
Adding..
“This announcement goes to show that both parties are committed to continuing development on the Parse platform,”
“We’re going to expand the Parse product offering, not contract it. Platforms that are going away don’t significantly expand their product offering a week after announcing an acquisition.”
