Hey guys, you can try www.backand.com which gives you anything that parse had to offer and much more. Real time, hosting, DB and server side action is just a bit of what they give you. Oh and the best part, it's free.

Is there anything that can keep backand.com away from the fate of Stackmob (http://venturebeat.com/2014/02/12/paypal-closing-down-backen...) and now Parse?

Unlike Facebook, backand main business is being a Baas. It has a lot of developers and fully backed. In addition, Backand's unique feature is that you can get the database connection and the server side configuration any time you want!

The first thing I read here https://www.backand.com/about/ is

> "Backand’s proprietary technology".

This means, if Backand will be acquired and shut down, all my time spent on learning specifics of Backand infrastructure will be wasted?

Are there any plans to open-source the platform? That would give some guarantee and peace of mind.
