> which Parse only was after it had already failed
You just listed some pretty impressive metrics, Parse was acquired for $85M and yet, you still think that Parse failed?
I'm curious what you would call a success.

The failure is 100% on Facebook's side. They could have decided to keep the business up, they decided no to.
Thankfully, Google is doubling down on a similar business, so we have alternatives.
From a standpoint of traction it was no failure. A lot of developers liked it for a good reason. However, the pricing model and the lack of performance guarantees lead Parse to being used for prototype stuff in the free-tier mainly. I think, if they had a little more trust in the capabilities of developers to know what they are doing, the service might still be alive.
