Parse.com - A Huge Lesson In Control

[johnp]

I haven't seen this posted yet. But today was a bad day in the app world.

Parse.com a MBaaS, currently backed by Facebook, is suspending its service at the end of the year. If you're into apps then you probably had a short melt down like me. http://blog.parse.com/announcements/moving-on/

With just one email from Parse my entire world started shaking. I have been in earthquakes before. They didn't even compare.

- I built my entire B2B business on Parse. It allowed me to build high quality cross-platform apps faster and at a better price.

- I have another business built on Parse...now I have to switch it over.

On the positive note...unlike a lot of developers I knew that this could happen and I saw it coming. I wrote every single B2B contract to protect myself for this day.

Just a friendly reminder to remember about control and always be ready for the worst.
