Choosing a Parse Backend-as-a-Service has allowed us to get to market with our product months sooner. Choosing Back4App as our BaaS service provider - with great customer support and reliability - has allowed us to exceed our customer's expectations.
Simon Berry
Founder - Fresh Projects

Back4App is everything the original Parse platform promised to be but wasn't. Back4App is scale-able, configurable, and can handle large enterprise applications running on it. With the addition of NPM modules, background jobs, and a powerful REST api you can pretty much build anything on Back4App in a quarter of the time it would take to build it yourself from scratch. The staff is amazing and their version of the Parse dashboard is second to none.
Joren Winge

What I love about Back4app is the timely customer support services. Even the founders charm in to help you with your issues. If you need to a custom plan or solution for your parse server, just ask Back4app and they will be sure to exceed your expectation.

I was surprised how easy it was to migrate my app to Back4App. I tried a number of hosted parse solutions and Back4App was the easiest to setup and the easiest to migrate to. The Back4App team has been very responsive to my questions. Thanks for the great service!
Stephen Johnson
Founder - Glacier Peak StudSwift LLC

Back4App offered an extremely easy migration of our Parse apps and their support was really helpful in solving minor questions. Their development and feature release pace has been stunningly high in the past few months. Back4App is definitely our favorite service when it comes to hosting Parse apps.
