Price to self-host a Parse app on AWS

Would you like to know how much it costs to run your Parse app directly at AWS? So, you are in the right place and we will provide the prices for hosting a Parse app at AWS. We will calculate the costs based on two different scenarios. The first scenario will cover a small application and will not provide a redundant infrastructure. So, if any of the instances fail, the app will face downtime. The second scenario will cover a more robust structure with redundant application instances and a replica set to run the databases.

How to manage your business App?

For most contemporary, Mobile Apps and web-applications, the administration interface has become a critical part of the product/application management. This web-based interface is typically restricted to trusted admins and isn’t accessible by guests and customers of any sort. That enables administrations to perform CRUD operations (creation, reading, updating, and deletion of the model content) and yield fairly productive results and performance for their websites.

 On May 25, 2018, the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that has been in the pipeline for a couple of years now goes into effect across European Union EU and European Economic Areas EEA. This has replaced the old privacy laws of 1995. It is a much tougher regime now, not least because companies must adhere to a new framework that creates consistent and reliable data protection rules across the EU and EEA. All businesses that process the personal data of individuals in the EU and EEA must comply with the GDPR or risk strict penalties and fines. The regulators will be able to impose hefty fines on organizations that misuse customers/citizens personal information.
