Ask HN: Good Parse alternatives?
Any recommendations on Parse alternatives? Firebase is very limited (just data) and I can't find anything that would match Parse in terms of ease of use and features.

You might want to look at app engine as well. Google just published an article on running Parse on app engine - https://medium.com/google-cloud/deploying-parse-server-to-go...
Firebase: Only DB, no push.
Deployd: Open source BaaS (no push).
Countly: Push and analytics (also open source).
Usergrid: Last time I checked, didnt have push.
Kinvey: BaaS but quite complex to understand.
Backendless: Completely free, thus reminds me of Parse.
Usergrid now has push for Apple, Google and Windows and scales to >10k/s which is probably more than most apps need, but good to have when you need it. We are finalizing our 2.1.0 Apache release right now.
Disclaimer: I've been leading Usergrid development for the last year.

This seems to be a meaty thread on the topic https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10991729
Also if you're interested in a mBaaS - Kinvey is pretty similar with Parse
I'd suggest using PouchDB[0] if on a web client, and Cloudant [1] as the backend. Spin up a simple heroku app using Superlogin[2] and you have full Auth, an offline database, sync and now the possibility of conflicts resolution.
If developing on mobile clients just use Cloudant Sync for iOS[3] or Android[4].

Twitter's Fabric : https://get.fabric.io/
Firebase? https://www.firebase.com/
Just provides a DB, not much more after that (push notifications, "cloud code", etc)
Apache Usergrid[0] (used by Globo.com, Apigee and others)
Kinto (Mozilla Services)

GUN[0] does realtime state synchronization, is offline-first, and is a graph database (key/value, relational, document, etc). It does NOT have other features of Parse though, like a web client, built in permissions, etc.
