I disagree that Parse worked out badly. Now that parse-server is open source, the ecosystem is stronger than ever.

I hesitatingly and begrudgingly used parse while it was still hosted by Facebook. At the time my biggest and only problem with it was the vendor lock-in. Now that it's open source, that problem no longer exists, and all the great tooling is still around.

I'm happily using it on new projects. I suggest taking a look and trying it yourself.
