Becoming the Real Parse Alternative

SashiDo - The Real Parse Alternative

I remember as it was yesterday: January 2016 when Parse announced their shutdown. I saw the confusion that mobile developers felt, they had to deal with servers, infrastructures, databases, backups, app scaling etc, all necessary things that they need, but take a lot of time, effort and knowledge to implement.

I was thinking … these guys create amazing apps with inspiring UX design, why bother them with troubleshooting production systems? Set their minds free, give them time, stable platform and tools to unleash their powers. My first company CloudStrap is a Cloud hosting platform and me and my team have years of experience with Cloud services and infrastructures, we burn for what we do, so we decided: we have to build incredible product for them!

It was months of hard planning, development, debugging, hundreds of sleepless nights and countless cups of coffee. It was difficult, but we wanted to provide the best option for the customers to receive again the real Parse experience.

It’s been 3 months since we launched, SashiDo is ready for production and we work with more and more enthusiasm to make SashiDo into

THE REAL PARSE ALTERNATIVE.
