I have a lot of experience with Parse. What are you considering building? There are definitely some gaps in the product, particularly a sane job scheduler. I also found it tricky to deal with the relatively short timeouts, which ate a lot of our cycles to track down and work around.

Unfortunately my next few projects won't be built on Parse, which is too bad because I know and really like the team, and think there should be something a little more abstracted than Heroku for building a backend service.

We used parse for the DB of our game on Playstation Mobile. Really enjoyed developing with the service but the app never saw a huge amount of traffic.

Plan on trying it out with a few larger jobs in the near future. http://karmaninteractive.com/2013tikirush/

I use Parse Cloud, the express framework, for creating an endpoint which can send push notifications to specific iOS devices.

I'm specifically curious to know how many people have used Parse Core (the cloud DB service).

We use parse for publicapis.com and have no complaints.
