Separately, we developed an open-source Parse-compatible API server for Node&#x2F;Express.  <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ParsePlatform&#x2F;parse-server" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ParsePlatform&#x2F;parse-server</a><p>This, along with the database migration tools released earlier, allow developers a full migration path to move from Parse hosted data + API to their own infrastructure.<p>Over the weekend, I set up a website &amp; app on a $5 DigitalOcean box running Parse and Mongo locally.
