Backend as a Service (BaaS) goes back to early 2010’s with companies like Parse and Firebase. These products integrated everything a backend provides to a webapp in a single, integrated package that makes it easier to get started and enables you to offload some of the devops maintenance work to someone else. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
Parse Server is a great way to quickly spin up a backend for your project. Parse is a Node based utility that sits on top of ExpressJS. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
You can try https://parseplatform.org/, it is self-hosted if you need. And also there are a number of cloud services with compatible API, like https://www.back4app.com/ It has dart-friendly generated API client, much simpler than firebase and is built on top of postgresql and mongodb.

Not to crash the party or anything. Supabase is great and all but in terms of feature completeness and getting actual products built, it doesn't come close to Parse[0]. Same with Appwrite. Both of these are very popular but they either lack essential features or have them behind a subscription wall. For example, the OSS version of Supabase (last I checked) doesn't include the edge functions which are really... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
I was regular user of Parse and after it became open-source I have built around 5-6 projects using Parse, two of them is with Flutter, but that's 1-2 years ago, and back then their Flutter SDK was a bit weak and unofficial, but currently Flutter SDK became official and I am about to start a new project, now I am considering another option AppWrite. Anyone used both and let me know how AppWrite compares to Parse?... Source: almost 2 years ago
Firebase is probably the easiest choice. If you don't want Google in the mix, there's no reason you can't fire up a virtual machine in the cloud that collects statistics for $6/month. If you've never done backend work it'll take a while, though. There's also Parse, AppWrite, Vapor, etc, to make it easier. Source: almost 2 years ago
I had a nice experience in the past with parse, and plan on taking a look at supabase in one of my next projects. There are other alternatives too. Source: almost 2 years ago
Self-hosted Parse Server (https://parseplatform.org/). It's perfect for more complex databases and User management. Source: almost 2 years ago
And there are still some sites that host it for you for free (limited), but you can always self host it yourself... https://parseplatform.org. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
For production, a good alternative is Parse (an open source back end). For hosting, you can check back4app. Source: about 2 years ago
Thanks for the reply. The best bet so far look like keeping on going on with Parse then. Source: about 2 years ago
Downside of acebase is that you cant use OR operators for every filter chains are logically AND. If you haven't heard of Parse it might interest you but the cloud hosted is more expensive. As opposite of you, I might play supabase somethiles. Source: over 2 years ago
They have blocked http://parseplatform.org/ which is just a site of an open source backend that is used to deploy mobile apps. Source: over 2 years ago
Or maybe Parse (https://parseplatform.org/), the somewhat forgotten OG of PaaS. Source: over 2 years ago
If you mean https://parseplatform.org/ then it looks to be still around. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

There's BaaS also you can use like Firebase from Google, again like you said, depends on your code and use cases. I'm playing with parse platform for a project I'm working on, but it's just for me, nothing production. Source: almost 3 years ago
I would look out for two major competitors. Parse Platform and Superbase . I think a lot of people are getting sick of firebases prices so there's a lot of competition to be the next one. Source: almost 3 years ago
Parse works also and itself hosted. It can also do cloud functions if you want to swap everything over. Https://parseplatform.org/. Source: about 3 years ago
I found a decent amount, but the two more promising are Parse Project and Appwrite. Source: about 3 years ago
