Remember that the alternative is no business at all.

We have a similar product where we provide a backend for game developers, and
there are quite a few of them making quite a lot of money on it. But without
us, those single developers or small teams simply wouldn't be able to pull off
the games that they do, because they don't have the knowledge or resources to
make the backend systems we offer.

If you can afford to make your own backend systems, you're not the target for
Parse, or us.

(Oh, and it's not like AWS has a 100% stellar track record either. :-) )

They support data store functions, push notifications with some nice options,
