Hey there, I work on Parse. This is good feedback.

Improving reliability is our #1 priority right now. The bulk of our team is solely focused on it. We've made some good progress and hope to have things in a much better place by the end of the year. You can follow it all on our status page. We try to be very transparent with post mortems and such.

That bug sounds nasty. I'll take a look to see if it's still an issue but I believe it was fixed a while ago.

The Facebook bugs flow has its pros and cons but I believe it's been great for our community on balance. We have an awesome team of folks triaging and repro'ing bugs and interacting with the community thanks to our integration there.

Drop me a note at ilya@parse.com if you have more thoughts about the dashboard or anything else.

So I would recommend using Parse after the end of the year once they figure out their reliability. Infrastructure as a service that is in the process of improving reliability is not very confidence boosting, though.

But I do appreciate that yall have started posting on status.parse.com! That is a major improvement in the right direction.

That's a totally fair assessment.

I just mean to say that we've prioritized it above all else and are really crunching to make it a non-issue for our developers. Our traffic has exploded in the last year so we need to rework some things.

If object goes to MySQL, hire me to scale.
I always think it's admirable when a CEO offers his help in forums.
