Parse explains their Cloudstack

Glad you posted this, the title originally had me wondering if "cloudstack" was a new generic term for "stack", with the implication that the stack used cloud services, or if it was a name-brand product they were using.

It'd be nice if they had something about how their infrastructure is setup and the rationale behind the decisions they made in selecting certain services over others.

At this point, it's just some filler text about what the company is and the "services" they use; There's not much to learn here except find one or two new services which might have been shown off on HN at some point of time or the other.

Right now, It's almost like a list of items on Referly; only that these items are web services.

Couldn't agree more. I dont see the use of leanstack.io its very misleading this isn't about companies stacks at all its about software they use. The majority of SaaS's are using AWS is it really worth mentioning? I'd like to know HOW they use AWS instead of 'yeah we use AWS, computers, desks and chairs'

That's not even the worst part - searching for a Parse specific issue usually requires "parse.com" in the query (with the quotes) because it's such a common word in programming.

That said, I'm a happy customer!
