With Facebook’s recent announcement that it will cease to operate Parse by 28th January, 2017, the news has created a stir among technology experts as well as companies already using this platform for their mobility and cloud strategies – from Orbitz’s travel application to the Oculus Rift VR team. With the social media giant stopping Parse support, numerous apps and business owners are looking to cope up with alternative development platforms. Let’s take a look at the announcement made by the company.

Parse is behind the scenes platform that powers almost 600,000 apps worldwide. Developers for these apps will have to now work against the clock to migrate from Parse to another platform. Rather than worrying about this news, companies using Parse need to now figure out how to get going with successfully migrating from Parse to a similar (or better) cloud and mobility solutions development platform.

Shifting base: From Parse to a viable alternative

Migrating from Parse Hosting services won’t be an overnight affair. A systematic, methodical, and well-planned approach will be all that you need. While proceeding with Parse migration, you might encounter several glitches in the process.

The following post lists some of the most crucial tips worth following in this regard.

1.    Assessing the depth of parse integration

While embarking on the Parse migration project, the first thing you need to do is to identify the services offered by this solution. It was because of its unique features that this cloud-mobile solution enjoyed unsurpassed popularity amongst app developers. Some of these exclusive features include:

  • Push notifications
  • Log out and login functionalities
  • Simple logic for users
  • Configurable database

As these functionalities are quite simple, finding a suitable alternative to Parse won’t be a tedious task. However, you will require identifying the depth of Parse integration in your application. Develop an idea of the prime features offered by this solution, and rank them in order of importance.

2.    Rethink about shifting to cloud solution

While migrating from parse, you must take the time to identify your choice. Do you really wish to opt for a cloud solution? BaaS can turn out to be a highly effective solution in this context, then again, it will depend upon your app stage along with your long-term goals.

You can either shift your app to servers or rely on the BaaS prototyping solution.

3.    The importance of code review

Code review is undoubtedly one of the most crucial aspects of app migration. While proceeding with Parse migration, a proper code review will help you assess app functioning from an entirely different viewpoint.

Performing targeted code reviews will also help you make a choice between Baas solutions and open-source servers.

4.    Go slow and steady

Although Parse won’t be there anymore, it won’t happen anytime soon. Since there’s almost a year, you will have enough time to plan your app migration.

Make slow, steady, and calculated moves. Rushing into things won’t yield effective results.

5.    Short Listing the alternatives

While searching for a BaaS alternative for your Parse solution, you will inevitably come across quite a few options. Amazon comes with its spectacular AWS Mobile Hub whereas Google offers Firebase. Apart from these options, you will also have Microsoft’s Azure Cloud.

Try to shortlist your options, and then finalize your choice.
