Using Parse as a mobile backend ?

    Curious if anyone has any experience using Parse (https://www.parse.com) as a mobile backend/cloud/DB to provide a platform for DB tables and APIs? I am looking at that, along with Riak, for use in some client-based mobile app projects that are coming up. In the past, we have had to build our API's from scratch using a server and PHP or .NET, etc, but the discovery of these new platforms has me a bit intrigued (and very excited at the possibility of eliminating a lot of overhead involved in doing this kind of thing from scratch).

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated from anyone with experience with this tool. Thanks!
