parse-server

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. It works with the Express web application framework and can be added to existing web applications or run standalone. The README documents installation via npm, Docker, or embedding in Express. It supports MongoDB and PostgreSQL with PostGIS, and lists tested Node.js, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL versions. Features described include REST API, GraphQL API, Live Query, Cloud Code, cloud jobs, triggers, push notifications, email verification and password reset, file adapters, custom routes and pages, localization, multi-tenancy, logging, access scopes, client key options, route allow list, and idempotency enforcement. A health check can be made through the /parse/health endpoint, which returns status values such as initialized, starting, ok, and error. SDKs for major platforms are available to connect applications. Documentation includes a wiki, guide, API reference, and Cloud Code guide. The project is maintained by the parse-community organization with release and alpha branches, long-term-support branches for previous major versions, and community support through Open Collective, a forum, Slack, and Twitter. Configuration options cover appId, masterKey, databaseURI, port, serverURL, cloud code path, push settings, and client keys.
