Exactly, exactly, exactly!<p>&gt; We were also paying Parse an absurd amount of money for extra reliability, which didn&#x27;t seem to help much.<p>We were also hooked into the same scam!<p>&gt; For nearly any issue, a half-assed solution---often not usable in production---by one of their staff was buried deep into their forums. Super painful.<p>Haha, well put. They always directed people to their pathetic &quot;support forum&quot;, where one of their staff would propose a criminally bad &quot;solution&quot; to a problem, which no self-respecting engineer could even sanction putting into production.
