I recently delved into app development on Xcode, and decided to develop a social app. I was using Parse as my mbaaS for a while, but unfortunately they are closing down. I was wondering in your experience what is(are) the best alternatives to Parse. Im basically using looking for something 1) easy to use 2) Well documented 3) Lots of tutorials 4) Can handle lots of RPS and users. The app I am developing is a social app, so if you have any specific recommendation for an app of that type, that would help tremendously. Also it is important to note that I have no backend development experience, so it would be a challenge to develop my own. Thanks again

Baasbox is a good alternative to Parse. A lot of features used in Parse are there (Push messaging etc), so migrating an app is relatively straightforward. They provide an API for Android, iOS and Javascript.
One of the main advantages it has over Parse is that it can be hosted yourself (Although there is a hosted option available, but it's not free).
Out of all the available backends, we found this to be most similar to Parse.

There are several Parse alternatives out there right now:
AWS Mobile Hub - this is a direct Parse replacement that recently came out by AWS. Although this is in Beta, AWS is a well respected platform that supports many huge companies like Netflix and Yelp
Firebase - (acquired by Google) Firebase offers a great solution for real time communication and data storage. It's perfect if what you are doing is mainly data & realtime (chat, game, collaboration, etc...) but it's not very flexible for other things (e.g. payment, SMS, push notifications etc...) firebase.com
RapidAPI - a backend platform that allows for saving data and integrating APIs. It is based on blocks so each basic action is represented by a block. You can combine blocks to create logic. It has a bit of a higher learning curve but it's probably more flexible
BackAnd - a platforms that allows you to create an AngularJS ready backend for your app. Its really good of you are working on AngularJS web apps and your data is stored on Amazon RDS.
