ABOUT THE SOFTWARE

What is Parse Suite

Parse Suite bundles Parse Server, the API and Cloud Code runtime, with the Parse Dashboard, the browser console for editing data and permissions. Together they give a mobile or web client a backend it can talk to over REST or GraphQL without you writing one.

The project started life as Parse.com, was bought by Facebook, and was open-sourced on 28 January 2016 when the hosted service was given a year's notice. That service closed on 28 January 2017, and the code moved to the parse-community organisation in April 2017, where volunteers have maintained it since. It is licensed Apache-2.0, which places no restriction on running it as a service for someone else.

Parse Server is a Node.js application that stores objects in MongoDB or, with PostGIS added for location queries, in PostgreSQL. The project publishes its own container images and keeps the previous major release on a security-only branch after a new one lands. That release discipline is the reason self-hosting is viable at all, and also the reason it needs attention: majors have dropped Node.js versions, dropped database versions and changed security defaults.

FEATURES

What Parse Suite does

Parse Suite gives a client application the pieces it would otherwise need a backend team for: a queryable object store, accounts and sessions, server-side logic, real-time updates and push. The client SDKs cover iOS, Android, JavaScript, Flutter, PHP and .NET.

REST and GraphQL APIs

Every class is reachable over REST, and a GraphQL schema is generated from your data model, so a client can query without a hand-written API layer.

Objects, classes and schema

Objects are stored in classes with types inferred on first write, then pinned so later writes cannot quietly change a field's type.

Class-Level Permissions and ACLs

Read and write rights are set per class and per object, with pointer permissions deriving object rights from a field rather than a stored list.

Accounts and third-party sign-in

Email and password accounts, anonymous users, roles, and sign-in adapters for the common identity providers including Apple and Google.

Cloud Code

Server-side callable functions, scheduled jobs, and before and after triggers on save, delete and find that run with elevated rights.

LiveQuery subscriptions

Clients subscribe to a query over a WebSocket and receive create, enter, update, leave and delete events, filtered by the same permissions as a normal query.

Push notifications

Push to Apple devices with an APNS key and to Android through FCM, issued from Cloud Code with the master key rather than from a client.

Parse Dashboard

A browser console for browsing and editing data, changing class permissions, running REST and GraphQL queries, and restricting who sees which app.

WHAT'S ALWAYS INCLUDED

Every app. Fully managed.
Nothing extra to pay for.

Every app on DANIAN ships with the same operational baseline. You do not choose a backup add-on or a monitoring tier. Hosting, patching, backups, SSL, and support are part of the €9, and they apply to Parse Suite the same way they apply to everything else in the catalog.

Automatic updates and patches

Apps run the latest stable version. Security patches applied silently, with rollback if needed.

Daily off-site backups

Multiple daily backups in redundant off-site locations. One-click restore if anything goes wrong.

24/7 uptime monitoring

Continuous monitoring with instant alerting. We respond before you notice.

SSL, firewall, DDoS protection

Auto-renewing SSL, hardened firewall rules, DDoS mitigation on every deployment.

Performance and scaling

We monitor resource usage continuously. When your app needs more headroom, we flag it and upgrade with your explicit approval.

Dedicated engineering support

Real engineers by email and ticket. DNS, SMTP & migration help. All included in €9.

WHY MANAGED

Why teams pick managed Parse Suite

Firebase Dynamic Links stopped resolving on 25 August 2025, and teams built on it discovered the replacement was their own code. Parse Suite answers that by being software you hold rather than rent. Running it safely is the part most teams underestimate.

Getting Parse Server to answer a request is an afternoon. Keeping it answering is the rest of the year: a database that needs indexes before the first slow query, a Redis instance behind LiveQuery so subscriptions survive a restart, certificates on two hostnames, push certificates that expire quietly, and a major-version upgrade path that has removed Node.js releases and changed defaults more than once.

The failure that costs most is quieter than any of those. A new Parse class inherits permissive Class-Level Permissions, so a class created from a client SDK can be read by anyone holding the App ID until someone closes it. And the master key restriction that is supposed to be the backstop can be walked past: behind a reverse proxy, a forwarded-for header can be made to look like a loopback address unless the proxy-trust setting matches the real hop count. Both are configuration, not bugs, and both are invisible until the data is already out.

REVIEWS

Hear from customers like you

Successful businesses and professionals around the world rely on DANIAN every day

No more maintenance headaches!

Finally, I can relax and not bother with maintenance. Each of the softwares that we run on DANIAN is automated and running stable for couple months already. They even assist us with modifying the DNS records. Once we needed to modify the config of Nextcloud so that we are able to upload higher than 5GB files and they assisted us fast. I also love their documentation!

Kevin Blackwell

Best managed service

I previously ran Peertube, Mastodon, Mattermost and Mirotalk on other providers before switching to DANIAN. I was tired of handling the updates and backups myself. Not only that the performance is "out of this world" fast, but their tech support is amazing. Since then I added 5-10 more Apps on my account. I also love how they add more softwares on their list constantly!

William Northfield

Love the personalized service!

I own an ecommerce startup. I knew that I need some softwares so that I add automations in my biz. I contacted their support team and I explained my needs. Albert recommended me couple softwares, each for a specific use-case. I signed up for the free trial and tested all. Ended up activating 6 apps. Everything is running smooth 2 months so far. I love the personalized service that I get with them!

George Adams

n8n runs excellent

We needed to add the ffmpeg functionality to our n8n instance. I contacted their support team. They made the required changes in couple minutes and notified me. Usually for this type of service I would need to hire a developer on a hourly basis. Love them!

David Hartmann

Smooth experience

I needed a way to manage the projects and files for my company. This was the first time I learn about opensource. I asked their support team and they assisted me immediately. I started with Openproject. Later I added Nextcloud. My team were able to get used to the apps fast.

Levi Nilsson

Bye GA

I wanted to replace GA with something but I didn't know the options. I talked with Jack from support. Couple minutes after that, I have a running Matomo Analytics. They even configured the tracking and connected it with my website. I have only words of appreciation and respect!

Wyatt Mitchell

Love the freedom

I wanted to use a crm for my startup. I signed up for the free trial. Tried out espocrm and dolibar and picked one. Their dashboard is very easy for a beginner. I recommend them and feel confident in choosing them.

Elias Koch

Wow just wow

After discovering DANIAN, I wished I'd found them sooner — their solution is excellent and deserves wider recognition. Very good solution!

Tyler Hollander

Professional tech support!

I thought that I knew what I was doing and I made changes in the Mattermost backend config file. Then it broke. I reached out to their tech and received an incredibly specific and fast response. They found the error fast and provided a clear solution.

Bastian Engel

Their support team is the best!

I had a problem with my card and the subscription could not be renewed in time. I notified their support and surprisingly, they showed much understanding. They basically left my apps run until I solved the card issue. Other providers would have deleted my data in a heartbeat. This is the way to build client-vendor trust!

George Adams

Fair price and fast

4 months ago I activated n8n, Uptime kuma, Vaultwarden and Paperlessngx. So far everything is perfect. The performance of all apps is excellent. I contacted their support team couple times for using custom subdomains for the apps and they were fast and kind. I'm constantly recommending them to my network!

Atanas

Vaultwarden 10/10

I wanted to selfhost a passwords manager for my company but I didn't trust the mainstream providers. I tried out Vaultwarden for the free trial. I loved how their support team communicated with me professionally but still kind. I know that I can contact them whenever with whatever question I have. Recommended!

James Smith

Multiple locations options

I run an agency. The majority of our clients are in different countries. I love that DANIAN has 20+ countries and I can spin up any app in any location. This gives us the freedom to focus on our clients. Sure, I can employee a dev in my team, but honestly, I prefer to not have those headaches. With DANIAN everything is running 24/7.

Edward Nelson

Everything just works!

My focus is on my business, not running servers. I love that I can lauch any app without having to think about the tech behind it. Everything just works!

Tony Roy

Awesome support team!

I signed up for the free trial in order to test Chatwoot. I needed to put a livechat widget on my website but I don't have much tech experience. I contacted their support to see if they can assist. They went above and beyond by generating the livechat widget code for me and inserting it in my website. They answered all my additional questions.

Filip

Very proactive!

Today couple of the videos on my Peertube got viral. Before I even noticed, their support have notified me via email that they proactively upgraded my app with more cpu & ram so that it continues to work without any downtime. They left the upgraded app with the added resources for couple days until the traffic stabilizes. After that I had the possiblity to stay on the same plan or keep the upgraded plan. Out of gratitude I stayed on the upgraded one.

Luke Hall

Win-win!

I run a web design biz. After I perform the work for my clients, they constantly ask me for more software solutions. So I partnered with DANIAN. Not only I provide the requested softwares for my clients and get the increased revenue boost by delegating all to DANIAN, but also for those clients that wish to order directly from DANIAN, I send them an affiliate link. Win-win on all sides!

Luke Walker

Flexible

For the past couple months I was running many apps with DANIAN for my clients. But one of my clients wanted a software that isn't on the current list. I talked with their tech support. They accomodated me and added the software the same day. The next day, I signed for their Partners program. We will go long way together!

Jeffrey Johnson

Awesome customer service

I needed to add analytics on my website but I didn't know anything about DNS. Their team guided me at all phases and they performed the changes for me. Additionally they were transparent and notified me of every change applied and steps performed.

Gabriele Marino

Good admin dashboard

Not only that I got Chatwoot, I also have access to the management dashboard. I love that I can view my hourly/daily usage and perform manual backups and restorations if needed. I don't need the level of control but it feels good to know that I have it if I need it.

Matthew Turner

Financially wise decision

Why install Chatwoot on a VPS that will cost me $20-25/month. Then worry about security, updates, backups, etc. Instead, I can activate it on DANIAN the same day for half the price. Plus, less headaches for maintenance. So happy I found out about this company!

Andreas Schmitt

Great service!

I configure custom Matomo tracking for my clients as a monthly service. Many of my clients were asking if they can selfhost Matomo instead of using the Cloud service. My employee recommended DANIAN. Basically, I can activate as much Matomo's in any of 20+ countries the same day. Additionally the affiliate revenue is a nice bonus.

Jacob Turner

Smooth experience

I was listing through youtube tuts on how to install Bookstack myself. Then randomly, I found their video playlist exactly for Bookstack. Got curious and went at their website. For the same price (or higher) that I would pay for just the VPS, with them I'm getting a fully managed Bookstack. It's a no-brainer decision!

Elias Gustafsson

I love opensource software

2 days ago I haven't heard about opensource softwares. Today I'm running 4 apps and enjoying the trip. Hey, 1 month later I may become a developer, haha just kidding. Love you guys!

Mason Hayes

Its a great service

Its a great service. I love the performance of my Mastodon community. It keeps on growing and I don't have any worries about backups, secuirity, updates, etc.

Vinícius Rocha

Very intuitive solution!

I wanted to use a nocode software for my company. A friend recommended them so I tried both Baserow and NocoDB, couple days later picked one.

Haruto Hashimoto

Top-notch security

Honestly, I don't care much about performance and functionalities. I just wish to not bother with hacking attacks so that I can focus on my firm. I recommend them!

USE CASES

Three teams who run Parse Suite on DANIAN

The pattern that repeats is a small team shipping client applications who need a backend to exist and behave, and who do not want a metered bill or a platform decision made for them. Three shapes of that.

SIX-PERSON IOS STUDIO

One instance per client app, billed through to the client

Each client app gets its own Parse Suite instance in the location that client asks for, so a data question never crosses between accounts. Cloud Code carries the account-deletion function Apple requires, and the studio bills the €9 through as a line item.

TELEMETRY FLEET, 400 DEVICES

Readings every five minutes into one class

Roughly 115,000 objects a day land in one class through the REST API, each device holding its own account and object rights. LiveQuery with Redis behind it feeds an operations screen, and old readings are rolled up by a scheduled Cloud Code job.

FIELD RESEARCH PROGRAMME

An offline-first client that reconciles when signal returns

The mobile client queues records locally and writes them when it reconnects, with before-save triggers rejecting duplicates. The instance sits in the region closest to where the work happens, which cuts the round trip that field staff feel most.

COMPARISON

Four ways to run Parse Suite

A backend is not priced by seats, so this table scales by the size of the app instead. One instance, three points of growth. The metered path starts cheaper and stops being cheaper; the flat path does not move.

Path	5,000 monthly users	25,000 monthly users	75,000 monthly users	Notes
Metered backend service	~$7/mo	~$35/mo	~$111/mo	Priced by reads, writes, stored bytes and transfer. No ceiling, and a loop in a client release can move the bill overnight.
Self-host on a VPS	$24/mo	$24-48/mo	$48+/mo	Plus your time: database indexes, Redis for LiveQuery, certificates on two hostnames, and every major upgrade.
Home server	~€650 once	+ ~€6/mo power	not advisable	An Intel NUC or similar runs it, but a mobile backend behind a home connection means your users see your outages.
DANIAN managed Parse Suite	€9/mo	€9/mo	€9/mo	Flat. Backups, updates, monitoring, certificates and support included, in the location you picked.
Who holds the data	You can take a database dump on any of the four paths except the metered service, where export is on the vendor's terms.
Ops time per month	Roughly zero on the metered service and on DANIAN. Count several hours on a VPS, more the month an upgrade lands.
What happens on a shutdown	Open-source paths keep running. A hosted service that closes gives you a migration window, as this project's own history shows.

Figures for the metered path are modelled from published pay-as-you-go rates at one app instance, and exclude the free daily allowance. The three columns hold file storage and transfer inside what a €9 app already includes, so the flat price is a like-for-like comparison rather than a headline.

BY INDUSTRY

Parse Suite for specific industries

A backend inherits the obligations of whatever is built on top of it. These four put different demands on the same software: one on deletion, one on device identity, one on who may read a record, one on what may be collected at all.

Mobile app studios and agencies

Apple's App Store Review Guideline 5.1.1(v) requires any app that lets a user create an account to also offer account deletion from inside the app, and reviewers reject builds that only link to a web form. Parse Server makes that a Cloud Code function rather than a feature request: a callable function running with the master key deletes the user record, cascades to the classes that point at it, and revokes the session, so the client only needs a button. We give each client app its own instance, so a studio holding twelve accounts never has one client's data in another client's database, and a handover means passing over one instance rather than untangling a shared one. At €9 an instance, the line item usually disappears inside the retainer.

Connected devices and telemetry

The UK Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure regime, in force since 29 April 2024, bars shipping consumer connected products with universal default passwords and requires a stated support period. That pushes device identity onto the backend. On Parse Suite each device is its own user record with its own credentials and its own object rights, so a compromised unit exposes its own readings and nothing else. We turn client class creation off, so a device cannot invent a class, and we put Redis behind LiveQuery so the operations view survives a restart. A fleet of 400 units reporting every five minutes writes roughly 115,000 objects a day, which one instance handles without tuning beyond the indexes we set at build.

Education technology

FERPA, at 34 CFR Part 99, restricts who may see a student record and requires the institution to keep a record of disclosures. That maps onto Class-Level Permissions almost exactly: a class holding student data gets no public read, and access arrives through roles, so a teacher account reaches its own class list and nothing wider. We set roles at build rather than leaving the class open, enforce private user records, and keep the Dashboard behind a login on a separate hostname from the API so an administrator console is never reachable from the app's domain. A district with 12,000 student records runs comfortably inside one instance, and the nightly backup gives the institution a copy it can hand to its own counsel.

Consumer apps with under-13 users

COPPA requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from a child under thirteen, and rewards collecting less in the first place. Parse Suite helps by making the schema explicit: fields are pinned once written, so a client release cannot quietly start storing a birth date the consent flow never covered. We enforce private user records so one child's account is not readable by the next, and we keep email out of the verification and reset flows the upstream project already stripped it from. A leaderboard class gets public read and no public write, which is the whole permission set most of these apps actually need.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Three groups. First the configuration questions that decide whether a Parse instance is safe, then what a move from an existing backend involves, then the platform questions that apply to any app you run with us.

Technical and configuration

How is the Parse Dashboard protected?

We never start it in development mode, which would disable its login and send the master key in clear text. It runs behind authentication over TLS on a hostname separate from the API, with each user limited to the apps you name.

Can I change Cloud Code without a full redeploy?

Cloud Code is read at start-up, so a change needs a restart rather than a rebuild. Your cloud directory is mounted as a volume you can write to over SFTP or the file manager, and restarting the instance from the dashboard takes seconds.

Do push notifications work?

Yes, to Apple devices with an APNS key or certificate and to Android through FCM. Push is a master-key operation, so it is issued from Cloud Code rather than from a client. Certificates expire quietly, so we tell you before yours does.

Migration and onboarding

Which regions can I deploy in?

21 datacenter locations across six continents. You choose the region at provisioning. Application data sits in the region you choose; pick whichever is closest to your users or matches your data-residency preference.

Can I move regions later?

Yes. Request a region migration from the dashboard and we run the move in the background. The system emails you when the migration completes; total transfer time depends on data volume but typical instances finish in a few hours. There is no extra charge for a region change.

Can I leave and take my data with me?

Yes. Full data export is available at any time, in a portable format you can bring to any infrastructure.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Point a record at the instance and we issue and renew the certificate. Most teams use one hostname for the API and a second for the Dashboard, so the console can be firewalled differently from the endpoint the app talks to.

Do you help with DNS?

Yes. Tell us what you are trying to reach and we will give you the exact record to enter at your registrar, or check the change once you have made it. This is part of support rather than a paid onboarding service.

Billing, support, and platform

What's included in €9 per app, per month?

€9 covers everything we do for that app: hardware in the region you choose, daily off-site backups with one-click restore, automatic security patches and version upgrades, 24/7 monitoring, SSL and firewall, and engineering support on email and the ticket section in the client portal. There are no setup fees or hidden line items. For more info see our Pricing page.

What happens after the 7-day trial?

If you decide to continue, we charge €9/app/month from day 8. If you don't, the trial ends and you can export your data. No card is required for the trial, and we never auto-charge you without explicit consent.

Are there per-user fees?

No. The €9/month is flat regardless of how many users log into your app. Add 5 users or 50; the price doesn't change.

What is included in support?

24/7 email and ticket support, both staffed by engineers who run the systems. We handle DNS configuration, SMTP setup, app integrations, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and migration help. Response time is typically under an hour. There is no tier system — every customer gets the same support.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from the dashboard. We don't charge a cancellation fee, we don't lock data, and we will export your data to you on request before deletion. data to you on request before deletion.

How do you handle backups?

Every customer instance is backed up daily to a separate region from the primary. We test restores. You can request a restore at any backup point within the retention window — usually 7 days for daily backups.

Where is my data stored?

Your application data sits in the region you choose at provisioning — 21 datacenter locations across six continents. Account-level data (billing, account email, support ticket history) is processed centrally. Application data region is picked by you, per app.

What's the SLA?

99.9% uptime SLA on every app, every tenant. Service credits are documented at danian.co/service-level-agreement. The status page is located at status.danian.co.

How does scaling work?

When your tenant approaches the resource ceiling — the base tier holds 1 vCPU/RAM, 30 GB storage — we notify you. Resource upgrades happen with your explicit consent; we will not upgrade your tenant or charge you without it.

What happens if my card fails?

We wait. We don't suspend the app or delete your data on the first failed charge. We email you, you fix the card on file, and we continue.

What about taxes and invoicing?

Invoices can be downloaded from the billing dashboard in PDF the day each charge succeeds. EU VAT is added where applicable and the VAT-reverse-charge regime applies for VAT-registered businesses with a valid number.

Which apps are in the catalog?

150+ open-source apps across automation, team chat, file sync, analytics, AI, password management, email marketing, dev tools, project management, smart home, CMS, and federated social. See the full catalog →

Do I get terminal access to my instance?

Yes. Every instance comes with a web-based terminal and a file manager in your DANIAN management dashboard. Useful for managing your data and customizations.

What if I outgrow €9 or the per-app resources?

Resources scale with your usage. If your app needs more vCPU, RAM, or storage, we add it — and we ask first before any change to your plan. €9 is the floor; resource-heavy workloads may price higher, but you'll always know in advance.

Is there a Partner or Affiliate program?

Yes. We have both a Partner program and an Affiliate program available. Anybody can sign up.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

No contract. No minimum commitment. Cancel anytime from the dashboard with one click. The 7-day free trial requires no credit card. After the trial converts to paid, you can still cancel at any month without notice or penalty.
