Is this something similar to parse/firebase?

This was my thought as well. It looks like `(parse|firebase) + apple ID authentication`.
Yeah I heard that Apple considered buying Parse before deciding to build CloudKit instead. It's a direct competitor, although Parse is still much further ahead. CloudKit is a lot cheaper though.
Parse was acquired by facebook more than two years ago (April 2013), so they had to plan it for a long time then.
