StackSDK
Parse announced that it is retiring the Parse hosted backend on January 28, 2017. Developers are expected to migrate their existing apps. Thankfully, ParsePlatform has provided an open-source version called parse-server and some instructions for migrating on their wiki. Although there are some community contributed links containing instructions for migration and self-hosting parse-server, the instructions are not very clear.
StackSDK aims at providing a hosted drop-in-replacement for ParsePlatform, complete with a web-based dashboard and administration console and with none of the headaches and hassles of managing a self-hosted parse-server.
Hosting
StackSDK is expected to be hosted on a scalable cloud host.
- This will allow you to scale your apps
- You may up-scale, down-scale or auto-scale your stack on demand
- StackSDK will support Analytics and PushNotifications out of the box
The SDK
The StackSDK SDKs are drop-in-replacements for the equivalent Parse SDKs
- StackSDK SDKs for Android, iOS and Web will be based on the Parse SDKs for Android and iOS and JS
StackSDK Tiers
StackSDK stacks are built on top of EC2 and allow for simple pricing tiers which will scale with the number of active users using your apps
-
Micro Stack : Supports 100 active users (Expected pricing : $5 per month after first year of hosting)
- Milli Stack : Supports 1000 active users (Expected pricing : $10 per month after first year of hosting)
- Centi Stack : Support 10,000 active users (Expected pricing : $20 per month after first year of hosting)
- Deci Stack : Support 100,000 active users (Expected pricing : $40 per month after first year of hosting)
- One Stack : Supports 1,000,000 active users (Expected pricing : $160 per month after first year of hosting)
- Deca Stack : Supports 10,000,000 active users (Expected pricing : $320 per month after first year of hosting)
- Hecto Stack : Supports 100,000,000 active users (Expected pricing : $480 per month after first year of hosting)
- Kilo Stack : Supports 1,000,000,000 active users (Expected pricing : $640 per month after first year of hosting)
- Mega Stack : Supports 2,000,000,000 active users (Expected pricing : $1000 per month after first year of hosting)
Where's the money going to go?
All the funds raised will go directly towards paying the software engineers and devops engineers building and running the Stack SDK platform.
