YC-Funded Parse: A Heroku For Mobile Apps
Summary
But there’s a decent chance you’re not so experienced with the backend server code that’s required to enable things like data syncing or authentication. Now Parse, a YC-funded company that’s launching in private beta today, has a solution: it’ll take care of all of those server-side features, allowing you to focus exclusively on making the mobile client better. Bernstam says that one common usecase for the service is to integrate syncing, so that users can access the same content across multiple devices. One other important thing to note: while Parse will take care of all of your server-side data for you, it’ll let you export it if you ever want to leave the service. The company has raised $1.1 million so far, with investors including YC, Start Fund, Google Ventures, Menlo Ventures, SV Angel, Yuri Milner, Aaron Iba (Appjet founder), Ray Tonsing, Garry Tan (Posterous, YC), Chris Fanini (Weebly), and Sean Knapp (Ooyala).
