Hey there, sorry to hear you're taking off.

I'd love to hear more about why you think we're nonchalant about downtime. We definitely need to improve reliability and are working hard to do so but also spend a lot of effort on writing up detailed postmortems (e.g. http://status.parse.com/incidents/j336l474l8h4) to be as transparent as possible even if it's painful.

You're right that there are some applications that are a good fit for Parse and others that aren't. We have many social-esque apps that are doing fine so I'd love to hear more. That said, we know it's not "one size fits all" and are working to productize/integrate some Facebook technologies that should make fanning out and other things way better.

Feel free to drop me a note at [e-mail].
