In this article, we are comparing costs required to host the complete Parse solution (Parse Server + Database) in two different configurations. The first configuration covers small apps and the second covers scaling / large apps.
Small Apps – Will detail the structure required for starting apps with less than ten requests/second and minimum server-side processing.
Large and Scaling Apps – Will detail the structure required for scaling and large apps with more than 10 API requests per second.
Building a new API and running it on production environment demands not only dedicated developers but also adequate infrastructure. Parse.com is a BaaS – Backend as a Service provider (Infrastructure + Backend) and hosts the infrastructure at Amazon Web Services cloud. The open source version of Parse.com (Parse Server) can be hosted on various types of infrastructure.
