All this underscores is the important of not tightly coupling your codebase to a particular provider.

It doesn't matter how tightly coupled your codebase is. If you have a client app that talks directly to Parse.com, it will stop working a year from now, and you will have orphaned users. Even if you release a new build that points to a new backend, not everyone regularly upgrades, not everyone can upgrade.
