Fair enough but do you think a 1-2 man shop can get better reliability than a product like Parse if they are average app developers that don&#x27;t have Ops experience?<p>EDIT Since I&#x27;m rate limited:<p>&gt; I don&#x27;t think any product exists that&#x27;s going to remove the need for ops experience. I haven&#x27;t used Parse, so I can&#x27;t comment on its reliability.<p>If you are an app developer whose backend consists entirely of talking to an API, I&#x27;m uncertain exactly what &quot;ops experience&quot; on the server side you believe is needed?
