Interestingly, might&#x27;ve been better to:<p>a) release open source versions and announce pricing increase in the future.
b) reduce people using the free 30 transactions &#x2F; second limit.
c) maintain in maintenance mode indefinitely.<p>I just don&#x27;t get why companies shut down services unless they&#x27;re folding them into open source projects (like Freebase into Wikidata). Maintenance mode seems cheap to me, but maybe I&#x27;m missing something?<p>I am most curious about Facebook&#x27;s strategy for this. Total guesses - but maybe they have another developer platform in the works? Maybe it&#x27;s just the focus on core businesses, but it is most curious.<p>Anyway, I love parse! Cool it&#x27;s open source now.
