Separately, we developed an open-source Parse-compatible API server for Node/Express. https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server

This, along with the database migration tools released earlier, allow developers a full migration path to move from Parse hosted data + API to their own infrastructure.

Over the weekend, I set up a website & app on a $5 DigitalOcean box running Parse and Mongo locally.
