Has anyone here used Parse.com for the backend of their app? I am thinking of using it, but am unsure and would like to view people's opinions on this.

Yes, it doesn't scale well.

Do you know any good platforms for an app backend?

Honestly, I'd suggest you go with node/express + heroku for a scalable backend.

I haven't used parse in the past, but personally, I'm one to create my own backends as I'll have a bit more control.

Yeah, I have heard Heroku was pretty good, but I've never used their service at all. I've looked into using before for web applications, but never went anywhere with it, but I may pick it back up.

I thought about picking Go up and using that for the backend.

What type of app are you working on? What services will the backend provide?

I would like to create a multiplayer game where players can interact with each other and stuff. I don't have much experience developing "backends" so yeah.. 🤝
