5. Parse, end of 2015 Still on AWS (US, Asia, Europe). Rewritten API server code from Ruby to Go. „After rewriting the EventMachine push backend to Go we went from 250k connections per node to 1.5 million connections per node without even touching things like kernel tuning.” Moved from MongoDB to Apache Cassandra* (at least for Analytics). 800M unique active clients daily. Used mostly by early and growing startups but also by large companies.

12. What the fuss is all about SDK
13. Parse Core Mobile Backend as a Service - CRUD + Users (SDK) Webhooks. Lifecycle hooks - before/after save, before/after delete. Static hosting. Dynamic hosting (express). Custom methods. MBaaS (CRUD) Background Jobs Cloud Code Static & dynamic hosting
14. Cloud Code
15. Cloud Code Parse Cloud is not a Node.js environment. No NPM, no C/C++ modules, troublesome CommonJS modules. No ES6 support.
16. Cloud Code Show me some code!
17. Cloud Code Create custom function
18. Cloud Code Register custom function as API method
19. Cloud Code Call it from a mobile SDK (iOS Swift)
20. Cloud Code Or using Parse REST API
21. Cloud Code Browserify & babelify
22. Cloud Code Example project
