I’m admittedly biased (early Parse employee, but not there by shutdown). Which part was a “fiasco”? As far as turndowns go I thought it was pretty damned fair: one year notice, a live data migration pipeline to self-hosted mongo, and an open source server implementation with a free license. Facebook even paid employees to continue working on the OSS components for a while till the community became so abusive that they moved elsewhere. The only thing I think could have been smoother is if Parse appIds were indicated by subdomain rather than header, which would have allowed switching over without client code changes and minimal cost to Facebook.
And does Dark even have the same sort of risk? It says your code runs on Google Cloud, which sounds like you get to walk away with your own backend if they shut down. Parse considered AWS an implementation detail, not a feature.
