AWS Positions Cloud as Parse Alternative for Mobile Developers. Amazon Web Services Inc. (AWS), is all about scaling, and is aggressively trying to attract mobile developers who require a new backend service for their apps, given that the Parse platform will be shut down by Facebook in less then a year. Facebook recently announced it would shut down the service on Jan. 28, 2017, and the industry immediately offered myriad alternative Mobile Back-end-as-a-Service (MBaaS) solutions for mobile developers using the popular platform, who now need to change direction. MBaaS services include cloud database storage, push notifications and social networking integration. Wikipedia states that MBaaS is still a relatively new industry, but “trends suggest that these services are gaining mainstream acceptance with enterprise consumers.” AWS is holding a full-court press to court Parse Developers. This includes everyone from industry giants like IBM to grassroots community activists trying to replicate Parse functionality within an open-source Parse Server project.

Barr continued to detail more than a dozen initiatives from AWS, its ecosystem partners, and posts such as:

Migrate from Parse Push To Amazon SNS
How to set up Parse Server in AWS using AWS Elastic Beanstalk
Transition Guide: Parse Analytics to Amazon Mobile Analytics
Welcoming Parse IoT customers
How to migrate an application from Parse’s Hosted Service
Exporting your data from Parse’s Hosted Service
Installing Parse Server on AWS
Migrate from Parse into MongoDB Cloud Manager or AWS

AWS appears to be investing more resources than its competitors in becoming a Parse substitute. AWS posted that Facebook recently announced that Parse will be shutting down and that users have one-year to migrate to other infrastructures. “We are working closely to Parse in order to provide a migration pathway. AWS provides many features for building and running mobile applications, including user identity and push notifications, storage, content delivery and testing, as well as mobile analytics. Learn more about this multi-pronged effort by interested mobile developers in the March 1 webinar, Migrating Mobile Apps From Parse To AWS.
